Why did you delete the 1.8 folder? I hope you kept a backup of both the
folder and the database?

Follow the other thread from today with the subject line of Xerte upgrade
for guidance on upgrade steps.

I had some trouble updating my XOT. I exported all my projects, deleted the
xot1.8 folder and unziped the new one. Now I cannot open the XOT 1.9
Workspace properties. Is anybody having the same problem or I did somethinng
wrong?

Thanks a lot Dave, Ron, Julian and all of you.

ps. Sorry, for the stupid questions. I'm new into XOT...

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

2013/1/13 Dave Burnett <d_b_burnett at hotmail.com>

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.

2013/1/11 Pat Lockley <patrick.lockley at googlemail.com>

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!
