Description:
When formatting is applied (bold, italic, underline) to distractor words in a Jumble Sentence question within an Ultra course, the formatting is not rendered correctly for students during the test attempt. Instead of seeing the styled text, students see HTML tags (e.g., <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Bold</span>).
Steps to Repeat:
- Log into Blackboard Learn Ultra Experience as an administrator
- Create an Ultra course
- Create a test
- Select Add Jumble Sentence question
- Type in your question, adding square brackets [x] to the answer
- Click on Add Distractor
- Add a distractor word, highlight it, and select either B (bold), I (italic), or U (underline). For example, type “Bold” and select underline (U)
- Save the test and deploy it
- As a student, go to the test and start an attempt
- Click on the dropdown menu to select the answer
Observed Behavior:
The student sees the HTML tags instead of the formatted text.
Example:
<span style="text-decoration:underline;">Bold</span>
Expected Behavior:
The answer should appear with the selected formatting (bold, italic, or underline). In the example, “Bold” should appear underlined.
