Charles,
Regarding questions as structured data, you might find interesting the following publication:
De Meester, Ben, Hajar Ghaem Sigarchian, Tom De Nies, Ruben Verborgh, Frank Salliau, Erik Mannens, and Rik Van de Walle. "SERIF: A Semantic ExeRcise Interchange Format." In LINKed (workshop)@ ISWC2015, pp. 1-12. 2015. (PDFhttps://biblio.ugent.be/publication/7241020/file/7241033)
Best regards, Adam

It goes back to 2016, just to generate questions from Wikidata:

Technically the incorrect answers in multiple choice are called "distractors". Clearly this is a rather simple data structure to handle. Hints assume quite a bit more.
At the beginning of 2017, I decided to take seriously the suggestion (from Magnus Manske) that questions should be treated as structured data. I even suggested Wikidata should have a namespace for them (this didn't go down well). A road not taken then, and just as the Comprende! tool was finished I got diverted into a Wikimedian in Residence position. So much for that.
Anyone, one take on this is that AW output might be some kind of structured data, rather than the sectioned prose (+media files and tables and templated data) familiar from Wikipedia.
By the way, mathematics in wikitext has traditionally been a threefold mix of approaches (HTML, png, LaTex): not an elegant solution.
