Hi Doug,

If a student answers an essayresponse question using Rich Text, is there any way for an instructor to view their answer in rich text as opposed to plain text with tags?

Currently, the instructor would need to switch his/her session to a LON-CAPA server running 2.10.1 or earlier.

In 2.11.0 the HTML tags included in an essayresponse submission when a student composes his/her response in the Rich Text Editor are encoded with HTML character entities (see bug 6694: http://bugs.loncapa.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6694 ).

The change made to line 410 in grades.pm rev 1.720 (line: 469 in the version grades.pm shipped with 2.11.0) to address bug 6694 (specifically for essayresponse), i.e., replacement of:

&keywords_highlight($answer)

with

&keywords_highlight(&HTML::Entities::encode($answer, '"<>&'))

needs to be revisited, as it prevents the instructor viewing the student's response with the formatting included by the student. I have added bug 6742 http://bugs.loncapa.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6742 and included you as a CC.

Hi All,

If a student answers an essayresponse question using Rich Text, is there any way for an instructor to view their answer in rich text as opposed to plain text with tags? Doesn't appear to be anything in the interface I'm looking at but not being an instructor I'm not entirely aware of how many ways instructors have to review student submissions. Thanks for pointers!
