Fill in the blanks: Let user escape /, * and : character

Description

A user wants to use the "/" character to write fractions in fill in the blanks, but the "/" character is reserved for separating alternatives. There should be a way to escape:

  • slash (/)

  • colon (:)

  • asterisk (*)

See forum post here.

Do note this is relevant for the node-multiplayer-api as well.

Acceptance Criteria

Add syntax to escape the slash character.

Thanks. As this is a Valhalla issue, I think should handle this issue.

I haven’t yet set up the “Team” field in Jira for the H5P project, but once that is done, we can also start tagging issues with the correct team.

Once in a while we get this request in .com too. This might be a big task tho.

Escaping * would also be useful.

In general, the places we are using reserved characters for parsers, we should include some way to escape the reserved character.
