I'm dumping all survey questions and answers using this: {qOne.question}: {qOne.shown} .

I'd like to either 1) indicate whether the answer is blank or not. OR 2) color the text of the answer chosen.

Are either one of those (or both) possible?

1) You should be able to use the is_empty() function:
2) Sorry, I don't understand the question.

Thank you! Going off #1, is it possible to only show if it's empty? because of the qOne.shown , it's showing the answer as well as the empty.

2) (apologies for poor/unclear wording) I was wondering if it was possible to color the text of the answer after it's referenced(pulled?) in the review page. like, if qOne.shown then text=green

steps:
-user answer q1.
-reference {qOne.question}: {qOne.shown}
and {qOne.shown} would be green

1) That is an Expression Manager IF function that will only display one of the strings. Please refer to the documentation - www.limesurvey.org/manual/Expression_Man...onditional_Equations

2) You can try something like this but may need to do it without using the editor (the editor may mangle the HTML syntax):
