Latex in question and not just answer?
Can you allow latex in the question and not only the answer choices? Please. Pretty please. With sugar on top. And sprinkles, definitely sprinkles.
We got it! You can now have inline LaTeX in the title of the poll question, in the answer choices, and they will display on the pollev web response page (including surveys) for your students.
You can use the TeX shorthand of $$ to enter your equation.
1. click the Create Poll button
2. Type your question $$ your equation in LaTeX $$ the rest of your question
3. click Create and you are done
You can see detailed instructions and screenshots for how here: https://polleverywhere.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/891297
Remember to start your question or answer option with “$$:” so we know to convert it properly.

Most maths problems involve maths equations. It is great how maths symbols can be used for writing the answers and if this was also possible for setting up the questions as well as for respondents to be able to reply in a mathematical language, then your product would be very unique and most helpful to maths and science educators.

So you're saying this won't work? I am pulling out my hair to try to figure out what is wrong with the code.
