Using HTML in questions and answers (fill in the blank quiz)

Hi,

I’m looking to create a ‘fill in the blank’ quiz, but for my particular use case, I need to input some HTML so I can style things later. Most importantly, a few <div> and <span> tags.

I’ve searched around the site and the forum and found a few forms posts as well as this page: https://h5p.org/adding-text-editor-buttons

I’ve tried to follow instructions, but without any results yet, so I thought I’d double check if I understand this correctly.

- By default, the text editor used in H5P only allows ‘normal’ text. HTML tags are not ‘converted’ into elements, but instead show on the page as plain text.

- The above link shows a method to tell the editor to recognize certain tags as HTML.

- As a Wordpress user, I need to put the code into my functions.php

- For example, if I want HTML table tags to work in the text editor for the multiple choice quiz, I’d need to add this code to functions.php:

function mymods_h5p_semantics_alter(&$semantics, $library_name = NULL) {
  // Check if this is the multichoice question type.
  if ($library_name !== 'H5P.MultiChoice') {
    return; // Nope, do not continue.
  }
 
  foreach ($semantics as $field) {
    // Go through list fields
    while ($field->type === 'list') {
      $field = $field->field;
    }
 
    // Go through group fields
    if ($field->type === 'group') {
      mymods_h5p_semantics_alter($field->fields, $library_name); // Check your function name!
      continue;
    }
 
    // Check to see if we have the correct type and widget
    if ($field->type === 'text' && isset($field->widget) && $field->widget === 'html') {
      // Found a field. Add support for table tags.
      if (!isset($field->tags)) {
        $field->tags = array();
      }
      $field->tags = array_merge($field->tags, array(
        'table',
        'thead',
        'tfoot',
        'tbody',
        'tr',
        'th',
        'td'
      ));
    }
  }
}
add_action('h5p_alter_library_semantics', 'mymods_h5p_semantics_alter'); 

If anyone could shed some light on this question, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
