Looks like upgrading to 1.9 should resolve your problem e.g. here's a quick
test using < and latex in both the plain text page and the slideshow page
in both the instruction and nested pages. It doesn't resolve the alt text
issue when using latex because I don't think that's coded into either the
flash or html 5 models.

I tried Latex and it worked, but one of the requisites of the LO i'm doing
is that it's fully accessible. I tested it and it doesn't seem to be, it
creates an image...

Dave said something about the text area type and I was wondering: Do you
think it's possible to create a model based on slideshow and change the type
of the text area?

 

I'm using XOT 1.8

and i'm trying to display texts like: n < 20

What version of xot are you using?

 

Give us an example of what you are trying to display?

I'm using Xerte Online Toolkit and I'm using the slideshow template

Hmm.

 

In Xerte desktop if I put 

 

1 < 2

 

it appears correctly.

 

Where exactly are you entering the text?

Yes, it is, but it recognizes it as a function tag and the rest of the text
disappears.

i think its < > isn't it?

for example.

If I put: 1 < 2

It appears: 1

It misses all the text after the symbol.

I don't know how to do this because i'm using Xerte Online Toolkits

I've never used the slideshow page (I've only used Desktop Xerte). What
happens if you just try <?

 

Another thing that might work is to create a variable in a script icon, then
embedding that variable in the text icon:

 

script icon:

lessThan = "<";

 

text icon:

{"if (1 " + lessThan + " 2) echo 'The universe is in order'; "}

 

Using curly braces in a text icon makes it an expression.

I realized that in Plain Text page inserting the ASCII code works, but I'm
writing it in a Slideshow page

Hi,

 

I'm describing an equation and I'm having some trouble when trying use the
symbol < as an text, not a tag.

I already used the ASCII code but still not working.

Does anyone have a clue?

 

Thanks!
