The Instructure Community will enter a read-only state on November 22, 2025 as we prepare to migrate to our new Community platform in early December.
Read our blog post for more info about this change.
New Quizzes allows MathJax (i.e. LaTeX) expression in the construction of questions and answers. However, it seems that some commands that work in other contexts, don't work here. In particular, I am thinking of the \mbox command inside a math environment. The following string
\(P\{\mbox{At least one Sociology major}\}=1-\frac{4}{20}=1-\frac{1}{5}=\frac{4}{5}\).
renders properly inside a "Page", but when placed as feedback on a multiple choice question response, it does not recognize the \mbox control sequence. A bug or feature?
