You can author and edit all question types using LaTeX to generate plain-text script files.
To create advanced questions, you cannot use the Question Bank Editor.
To author questions with algorithmically-generated labels in figures, you must use LaTeX generation.
It is recommended that you write and edit question banks using LaTeX only if you are an experienced LaTeX user. Otherwise, it is recommended that you edit script files using a text or HTML editor or the Question Bank Editor.
