Final answers written in text boxes instead of MathQuill show without spaces in the header "X students with work leading to answer" part of the grading page #193
The grading page assumes everything is math, I just need to run the little function that happens when changing between text and math on the student side to escape spaces while doing work aggregation. Some students may write a sentence/phrase into the math box while others explicitly change to text. So if those inputs are similar enough they should end up in the same group and display reasonably.
