Base useage for answer command.

1 Basic Usage
The \answer[#1]{#2} command has the following optional keyword-value arguments:
tolerance, validator, id, format, given.
Each of these should be used in the form “key=value” and separated by a comma.
Note: Any special symbol or otherwise unparseable content in argument of answer will result in any submitted answer (including a blank answer) being marked correct.
2 Intended Outcome of Test
Below should be several answer boxes, which have the optional arguments (in order) of: tolerance=0.1, id=problemX, format=string, given=true.
The provided answers are (in order) \(5\), \(x\), \(\text {problem answer}\), \(3x^2 - 4\)
The first answer should accept any decimal from \(4.9\) to \(5.1\), the second should save the provided response result as “problemX” (testable through console), the third should only take “problem answer” as the correct answer (case and order sensitive), [Note: if format=string is not working, then it will take any permutation of those letters as correct], the fourth answer will be displayed in the pdf (i.e. given=true says to print the answer in the answer box, rather than a question mark).
