typing math symbols and exponents in RISE quiz option?? How do you do this?
How do I type in RISE quiz question and answer?
Please tell me its possible.

Making Mathematics tutorial for graduate level courses. Def considering purchasing, this is a huge barrier. People expect better than ^. (and whatever other symbols we need). It's a tool for developing learning modules, right? Yeah, somebody might want to think about Math soon.
great tool of course, for what it is. Would love to eliminate "for what it is" from that statement.

Here is my post detailing how to display accessible, full formulas in Rise. It requires a small understanding of Latex, and a minor JavaScript insert after publish:
https://community.articulate.com/discussions/rise/how-to-add-accessible-mathematics-to-your-rise-course-including-super-and-sub-scripts-and-formulas Hi all,
I wanted to give you a heads up that we just released another update for Articulate 360, and included a few important fixes and new features that you'll see in the release notes here.
One of the new Rise features is increased text formatting options, including subscript and superscript. I hope that helps with your writing equations in Rise! Here’s a quick tutorial on editing text in Rise.
You can access all the Articulate 360 and Rise tutorials from this page.
Let us know what else you need and keep the feedback on Rise and Articulate 360 coming!

Hi Ashley, yes I did notice that, and it is helpful.
For any course that teaches Math or relies on formulas (Chemistry, Physics, Accounting, Statistics, and so on), support for LATEX is critical.
MathJax makes this very very very easy with their existing JS library. All that is needed is for it to be included in the export by default. As well, as shown in my code, the Articulate development team needs to ensure that the MathJax processor is re-called when any content is dynamically written to the browser, which Rise seems to do a lot!
While we have a work around for the time being, support for accessible Mathematics seems like a simple functional addition to Rise, and will have a huge benefit to the overall accessibility of the product.
Thanks John for that feedback and insight into the specific needs for math based Rise courses. I'll pass it along to our Product team.
In case you're wondering, here's how we manage all of the ideas we receive!

I will concur with the need. I have been watching this thread for some time with hopes of an update on this.
While things like sup/subscripts and Greek characters help, the reality is that until LaTeX is supported, Rise will never truly be ready for STEM courses. I have two 36 week courses in Chemistry and Physics that I would like to build in here, but that is not going to be realistic or accessible until LaTex is natively supported. An equation editor can be built on top of LaTeX. But LaTeX compatibility, itself, will be necessary before STEM courses can take Rise seriously.
I know that Rise is a new product, and we LOVE where it has gone so far. I just wanted to add my two cents about how equation editing is crucially important if Rise is going to be taken seriously by the sciences and technical fields.

Hi I'm new to Rise and loving it.
However I also mainly develop science and maths courses and so the lack of support for equations is a big issue for me. I see that quiz choices can be formatted to include superscripts and subscripts, but I can't see any way to change the font of individual characters e.g. to produce a single character in symbol font etc. within a line of text?
Support for LaTex would be brilliant. As a stop-gap can we upload images into quiz options? That way the equation could be produced as an image file elsewhere, and uploaded into Rise. As far as I can see, images can only be loaded into the question text, and not the choices, or the answer.
Thanks!
