Is there any way to "remember" html editor choice in New Quizzes/Discussions?

When working in Pages, when I select the type of html editor to use (Pretty vs. Raw), my choice is remembered on any other page I work in. So, for instance, Pretty html is the Canvas "default" but when I switch to Raw html in Pages, the html editor will automatically open in Raw from then on.

I would like this to be true in other areas of Canvas, such as New Quizzes and Discussions.

Either that, or provide a toggle for preferred default html editor format. I may be in the minority, but I strongly dislike "pretty html" especially when working in Asian languages (for instance, ruby text will be altered with extra spaces when working in Pretty html). I would like to be able to set my html editor to always open as "raw" but haven't found a setting for this.

So, two questions:

  1. Is there a setting that I'm missing that would set the html editor default interface? I've searched in my global settings and can't find anything.
  2. If not, can a setting for default html editor be added to New Quizzes/Discussions?
    • Failing that, could the system be updated to at least remember the previously selected html editor format?

Thanks for any help/attention to this matter!

I included a screenshot which can be used as a reference for the problem with ruby text coding in Pretty html.
