Microsoft Teams - Create assignment - How to add HTML format to the assignment

Question

The body of the assignment seems to accept just plain text? If that's the case, looks to me really a poor choice. I hope there is some hack to include html format in the assignment text (I don't want to attach any additional document to the assignment)

Best regards,

Rodrigo.

P.D.: I couldn't find "Teams" in the category drop-down list ... hope this is the right place to post questions about MS Teams

Hi Rodrigo,

Based on the research, you need attach reference materials to the assignment. For detailed information, please see:

Hi, Rudy

I appreciate the prompt reply. I was expecting some kind of tiny wysiwyg web editor to write the assignment instructions. As far as I understand, the reference materials (attached documents) shouldn't be the aimed to formulate the wording of the assignment, but to add extra information that might be required to complete the assignment.

In my case, I don't need to attach additional documents. Getting the wording of the assignment through a reference material instead of an inline paragraph would be cumbersome

Need to check if Google Classroom has this feature, I would swap platforms just for this reason.

Best regards,

Rodrigo
