It would be great if LaTeX could be used with $$ <equation> $$ instead of having to click over to the insert equation button every dang time.

@CharlesHammond, thanks for this suggestion - I rated it 5 stars as our LaTeX users are seeking more compatibility with familiar syntax in New Quizzes.

For now, try \( and \) delimiters when typing a question stem or answer choice, instead of $$...$$:

\( any LaTex, not $-delimited, spaces after/before optional \)
