Match Formatted Notation or Images
You can include images and formatted text, such as subscripts, in first-column items in matching questions. However, you cannot include formatted text or images in the drop-down list of second column items. In order to match second-column items that contain images or formatting, you must use labels for the second-column items.
You can use the $LABEL variable to set alphabetic or numeric numbering of your second-column items. These labels are displayed beside the second-column items in the question, and the labels are listed in the drop-down menu.
To set labels for second-column items:
|
Label type |
Code |
|---|---|
|
Lowercase alphabetic (a,b,c...) |
<eqn $LABEL="a"; ''> |
|
Uppercase alphabetic (A,B,C...) |
<eqn $LABEL="A"; ''> |
|
Numeric (1,2,3...) |
<eqn $LABEL="1"; ''> |
