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?
