[Building Sakai] The use of curly brackets in the Fill in the Blank questions (SAM-2320/SAM-2419)

[RAUL SANCHEZ VEGAS]

Hi everyone,

We would like to get some feedback about the related jiras SAM-2320 and 
SAM-2419? Both Jiras are about the use of curly brackets in the Fill in 
the Blank questions (FIB).

FIB questions make use of '{' and '}' as delimiters. What Samigo does is 
that it replaces anything they find between curly brackets with an input 
to be used as answer keys. However curly brackets are used in LaTeX 
(MathJax) or are used for programming questions too so, right now, the 
question text must avoid curly brackets. We've got several complaints 
about it.

i.e.:

Question text:
"
while(true)
{ .... }
"

Our first approach was to use use double left/right brackets or other 
character for creating FIBs answer keys, so that single brackets could 
be used in the FIB question text.

What character do you think that could be used instead of curly bracket 
to create FIB answer keys?

What solution should be done to the FIB questions that have been already 
created?

Regards,
Raúl
