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.

Start the first line of Answer with one of the following:

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"; ''>`
