You don't have to remove them (but I do think cartoons etc should be).

But dammit, you don't need to duplicate a big file or use a
non-standard format for something as trivial as a quiz.

There are *trivial* solutions to this:

 - just move the answer in the html file (or to another html file past a link).

 - or just make the answer be in text using the background color (have
people select the text to see it)

 - or make the answer be in a tiny font and make people use "ctrl-+"
or whatever.

None of these require a non-standard format and munging and duplication.
