How to: HTML in the question editor

Introduction

The question editor supports some limited HTML which can be used to apply font styles and insert hyperlinks within questions.

Supported HTML

The html supported by the question editor includes, a (anchor), i (info), b (bold), strong (bold), em (emphasis), br (line break), sup (sup text), super (super text), p (paragraph).

Examples

The supported html can be used in question text, hint text, prompt text and answer choices. Instruction text has a built in html editor and can support even more functionality. Section headings do not support html.

Bold text in question text

By applying the strong (bold) style, the word "not" is displayed as bold in the survey.

Desired text:

What do you think is NOT working in this organisation?

Question text example:

What do you think is <strong>NOT</strong> working in this organisation?

Bold and italic text in answer choice text

Two font styles can easily be used together. In this example we have strong (bold) and i (italic) in the answer choices.

Desired text:

What do you think is NOT working in this organisation?

Answer text example:

What do you think is <strong><i>NOT</i></strong> working in this organisation?

Hyperlinking

Hyperlinks can be added to question text, hint and prompt text. Using the format:

<a href="https://www.yourwebsite.co.uk" target="_blank">hyperlink text</a>
