"/" symbol in fill in the blank style question

Botttom Line Up Front: We need to be able to use the / symbol in an answer for fill in the blank style questions.

The question deals with subnetting and we need to be able to answer it with a network ID / CIDR notation.

Answer looks like this: " 110.110.110.0/24 " but the fill in the blank content type sees that as 110.110.110.0 or 24.

Is there a way to boolean logic & the two? Or maybe if we had a wildcard option in this content type (see previous post requesting this addition).

Thanks for your time!

Hi JavenB,

There is an existing bug report that aims to resolve this and you can follow the progress here.

The * character is also needed, in addition to \ and /

Hi langholloman,

The fix that is planned will include all special characters that previously cannot be used as part of the answer which includes the slash.

BV52 - Can you provide me with the source code location where the / and * are defined?...I'm guessing in the GitHub source at: https://github.com/h5p/h5p-question-set
We could temporarily change that character definition to an unrequired character on our side, until a more long-term solution is developed.
