Having trouble showing the same text format on the editing side and opening the note to see the answer. See images below to see the differences in format for the back side of the notes I create.

It will then mark most of your answer wrong if you don’t also enter the text used in formatting. FYI, that formatting comes from underlying HTML tags so you’ll have to type-in those too if you want your answer to be marked correct.
The bold in your notes probably comes from wrapping the text with <b> and </b> tags. The list uses <ul> and <li>.
