Description

As reported on Wiki page of quiz extension using piped links inside tabular response questions results in syntax error.

To reproduce the bug use the following quiz:

{Question
|type="[]"}
| Option A | [[Article name|Option B]] | Option C 
++- Question 1 
(Clue: A and B are correct). 
-++ Question 2 ( 
Clue: B and C are correct). 
--+ Question 3 
(Clue: C is correct).

Interwiki links are abbreviations for commonly-used longer external links.External links work fine inside tabular response as they don't use " | " markup.

@Mvolz As the external link works fine inside tabular response questions, would it be considered a valid workaround to achieve the same?
The following code produces link inside categories.

{Question
|type="()"}
| A | [https://www.google.com B] | C 
+-- A is correct.
-+- [https://www.google.com B is correct].
--+ C is correct.

It's certainly a workaround, but I would consider this bug valid and should be fixed.
