How to Keep Line Breaks when using CSV to Upload to Quiz Questions

Wei.J.3309 · July 2024

I'm using a csv file to upload several questions into the D2L question library. The questions are created successfully. However, the separate lines in each question text are all merged into one line (or one paragraph). How to preserve the spacings including line breaks in question text in csv? I tried using \n,
or <p></p>, but neither works. Could you please help?

@Wei.J.3309 Are you typing HTML in the next column right after the question text that includes the HTML tags? The CSV file requires that you specify when you are using HTML.

It worked.

@Wei.J.3309 Glad it's working now! I typed up some instructions on using the question import CSV file if you have other issues.

Hi, Jennifer. The HTML tag does not seem to be recognized within the Answerkey for a CSV file. How is a line feed kept in an Answerkey entry? Thank you.

Hi @Kevin.B.5929,

Thank you for reaching out to the Brightspace Community.

Based on your description, I think it would be a good idea to create a support case with the details of the HTML tag used for the Answer key for a CSV file so that we can investigate the issue further.

We look forward to hearing from you through the support case.

Kind regards,
