How do I use superscript and subscript in the answers to multiple choice questions. They only work in the Question Window, not the answers.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Not sure if you are using traditional quizzes or Quizzes.next, but my answer below related to the traditional quizzes interface.
All that you need to do is click on the pencil icon to the right of the answer box. Then, it will give you access to the Rich Content Editor, similar to when you are entering the question.
Hope this helps; let us know!

Same question as the original. All of the special, rich content, functions work in the question, but not when editing answers to quiz questions. I cannot use italics or superscript/subscript etc. I cannot even copy paste content containing, for example, italics, the words stay, but italics/superscript etc. disappear. I know that others can get it to work, so maybe old computer issues?
I clicked on the pencil icon next to the multiple choice answer I wished to include a subscript. It just takes me to the top of the page. With no rich editor for the answer.
