text presentaion on OpenSesame

Megen

Hi everyone,

I am creating programming codes exercises as my multiple choice questions, however when it comes to i<=n; or ++i , it is not displayed for the participants(while the experiment running). It is displayed in the script of openSesame though. does anybody know how to solve the issue pl?

Thank you so much in advance

Hi @Megen ,

Apparently, less-than (and greater-than) signs are interpreted as (HTML) tags and therefore you have to use HTML entities to show them correctly. In case of the smaller-than sign in your example, "<" should be replaced by "&lt;" (without quotation marks).

So

for (int i = 1; 1<=n; i++)

becomes

for (int i = 1; 1<=n; i++)
