Content Editor

Every question has a prompt — the content shown to the candidate when they encounter the question. The prompt is written using the TestInvite rich content editor, which supports far more than plain text: formatted text, embedded media, tables, math, and more. Each capability is covered in detail in the sections below.

Text Formatting

• Inline styles — bold, italic, underline, strikethrough
• Font family — Default, Lato, Arial, Roboto, Consolas, Inconsolata, Mirza, Slabo, Sofia, Ubuntu
• Font size — small, normal, large, huge
• Text color — choose from a palette or enter a custom hex value
• Background highlight — highlight text with a background color
• Subscript and superscript — x₂ and x²
• Clear formatting — remove all inline styles from selected text

Structure & Layout

• Headings — H1 through H6 for structuring longer prompts
• Ordered and unordered lists — with indentation and nesting
• Blockquote — highlight a passage or instruction as a quotation
• Text alignment — left, center, right, justify
• RTL direction — right-to-left text flow for Arabic, Hebrew, and similar languages
• Indent — increase or decrease paragraph indentation

Embeds & Media

• Images — upload directly or pick from the Media Library; supports reuse history
• Audio clips — embed audio files (upload or Media Library) that candidates can play inline
• Video — embed an uploaded video file or a YouTube link; switch between the two types when editing
• File attachments — attach downloadable files (PDF, DOCX, etc.) that candidates can open
• Tables — insert structured data tables with a visual editor
• Hyperlinks — link text to an external URL
• Raw HTML — insert a custom HTML block (advanced use)

Mathematical Expressions

• Inline formula — type a KaTeX expression directly using standard LaTeX syntax
• Visual math editor — open the MathLive editor to build equations with a point-and-click interface, then insert the result
• Subscript / superscript — also accessible from the Math Tools menu for quick insertion

Code Blocks

Use a code block to display syntax-highlighted code, commands, or any monospace content. Never paste code as plain text — the code block preserves spacing, prevents line-wrapping, and makes the content scannable at a glance.

Writing Tips

• Keep prompts concise. Candidates read under time pressure — every unnecessary word increases cognitive load.
• Upload images to the Media Library first so they can be reused across questions without re-uploading.
• For math-heavy questions, use the visual math editor rather than text approximations like x^2.
• Use RTL direction when writing questions in Arabic, Hebrew, or other right-to-left scripts — do not use alignment tricks as a substitute.
• Avoid raw HTML unless necessary; prefer the purpose-built embed tools for media and tables.
