Formatting Help

Quizera supports formatted text in questions, answers, and assessment descriptions.

Quizera text boxes support plain text by default, plus richer formatting when your quiz needs structure, code snippets, or proper mathmatical notation.

What you type
Solve for \( x \) when \( x + 4 = 10 \).

Solve for \( x \) when \( x + 4 = 10 \).

Block equation

What you type
Use the quadratic formula:

\[ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \]

Use the quadratic formula:

\[ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \]

Fractions

What you type

Formatting tips

Use block formatting for bigger content Use code blocks for multi-line code and block equations for larger formulas. Inline formatting is best for short terms or short expressions.
Keep answer choices readable Formatted answers are supported, but short answer choices are usually easier for participants to compare.
Preview before sharing After adding or editing questions, review the quiz and take flow so you can confirm formatting, images, code, and equations look right.
Use images intentionally Question images work best for diagrams, maps, charts, screenshots, anatomy labels, visual vocabulary, and scenario-based questions.

Unsupported and limited features

  • Raw HTML is stripped for safety. Use Quizera formatting instead of HTML tags.
  • Scripts, embeds, iframes, and custom HTML widgets are not supported.
  • Questions currently support one optional image per question.
  • Uploaded images are separate from text. You cannot insert uploaded images inside the middle of a paragraph.
  • Very large tables or highly complex layouts may not display well on mobile or print.
  • Advanced LaTeX packages are not available. Use standard KaTeX-style math notation.
