All inline elements — text formatting, colours, highlights, links, footnotes, and icons
Inline elements appear within a paragraph or list item body. Most use the !name{} prefix syntax; standard formatting uses shorthand symbols.

constantA template constant placeholder for dynamic values that can be substituted at render time, such as student names or question variants.
Write a constant with two opening braces, the variable name, and two closing braces. For example, wrap student_name in double braces to render the current student's name.
Raw double-brace constants are resolved while this documentation is compiled, so the example above spells out the placeholders instead of using live constant syntax.
