Description

Please remove the following, "simple" emoticons:
'B)' => 'cool',
'' => 'sad',

and maybe
'' => 'smiley',

These smileys come into the way when having Quiz answers in mathematical forms, abbreviations --> (USB) , class-numbers, etc. If someone wants to use them, the longer form could be used.

I've removed the B) which was the only one added in 1.7. The others have been there forever, and removing them now would probably break a lot of smileys in existing texts ... and are very common.

I'm not closing this myself because this could still be solved, possibly, by making the search/replace smarter.

I have 1.7 installation (not the latest one). How can I at least make (B) work?

I had the same problem when a quiz answer showed a drive letter such as C: inside parentheses. It would look like C smiley face! Luckily for me it was only a couple of questions, so I substituted : for a colon. Just in case my code simply shows as a colon, it is & # 5 8 ;
