Description

Currently what we display in-line for blocks can be pretty strange:

Can we do the same thing we do for the javascript toolbox here? Or use the actual text from the block somehow?

Research direction

Start by locating the Teacher Tool code responsible for inline block displays and compare it with the existing JavaScript toolbox rendering. Determine whether the expected result is toolbox-style output or the block's actual text. Done means inline blocks render in a clear, consistent form that addresses the reported strange display.
