Hi,

By using AMC-TXT how can I have a colon within an answer?

It tested your question with my installation of AMC and it worked like a charm. What is the result with your installation? What version of AMC are you using?

We use stable version 1.2.1 from the Ubuntu repository. Are you using the latest version?

The error message is something like "is: is no general option definition"

With version 1.2.1, to avoid a colon in response to be treated as an AMC-TXT keyword trigger, you could include it in double square brackets.

Another way to circumvent this problem is to reformulate the question so that the colon is no longer needed in responses :-)

Thanks a lot for your answers. To reformulate would be a great idea, but our professors don't think that way ;-)
