Is it possible to format the conputer's response to a correct answer? 

Consider this example:

What is the probability of getting two ones when rolling two die? The
computer responds with something like 

The correct answer is: 0.277777777778


Is there  a way to make the computer respond with a tex/html 
formatted answer like this instead?

The correct answer is \left(\frac{1}{6}\right)^2 

where the tex expression has been properly typeset on the screen and 
on the web.

Lars.
