preview and test broken if test input contains certain characters. 3.3-RC02

MarcosGeorgopoulos

For example if you create a multiple choice option and have one of the answers like this

{{ var }}

the option will not show up.

Can you provide the exact question and steps to reproduce?

MarcosGeorgopoulos

Will do.

1. Create New Item
2. go to Authoring
3. Add any common interaction that has a free text field. For example multiple choice
4. Add any text within {{ }} characters. For example

1. Go to preview and you will see that it has been stripped.

It is missing in the actual test as well ( not just the preview ).

Hi Markus, I don't know the exact reason why this fails, but my guess would be that the items run through handlebars, where the braces have a special meaning.

I wonder, what you are trying to achieve. If I had a bit more context, I could maybe come up with a better idea.

Hi Dieter,

I am trying to write some questions around Jinja2 templating. You reference variables through {{ var_name }} syntax.

Since your code pattern is not supported, I have been looking for workarounds, and I think I found one. You could maybe use Unicode U+2774 and U+2775 instead. I tried that quickly and at least in the preview, it worked just fine.

Regular brackets { } vs. said unicode ones ❴ ❵

I hope, this helps!
