I'm not sure if this is a MQ issue or a PG one.
If a student types | on the keyboard, MQ assumes that they mean absolute value, and will autofill a closing bar if one is not entered.
This is problematic when using questions that ask for set builder notation (e.g. Library/PCC/BasicAlgebra/LinearInequalities/GraphToSetAndIntervalNotation10.pg), since in that context a student typing | probably means "such that".
There is a workaround in that "such that" is one of the options in the toolbar, or alternatively the student can type vert.
I don't know what the solution is to this, because most of the time MQ is doing the most useful thing. Is it possible to have problems with set builder notation send a flag to MQ to treat | as "such that"?
