behind some sort of firewall that prevents requests to outside servers). We’ve
yet to do the work to replicate the service we are currently using (one that a
lot of blogs use, and the best of the three I tested). For those reasons I
haven’t shouted about it too much just yet, and there will be some caveats on

<br>
Thanks for the welcome.<br>
<br>
Wow, the LaTeX support is a fantastic feature. However, the build
that I downloaded does not seem to support it. I copied the below
example "as is".<br>
<br>
You mention that you intend to support this on "your
server". Do / will I need to set up my server for such, or do
anything special like that?<br>
<br>
When you upload this latest build, will I need to re-download and re-install or
will Xerte just update itself?<br>
<br>
Either way, I'm looking forward to working with this.<br>

I only just heard of Xerte today. Downloaded and installed because
it looks promising.<br>
However, before I get too involved, I must know, how do the math folks deal
with the symbols? Without this, I MUST use other tools.<br
clear=all>
I can tell that that is not a ready feature of Xerte. Is something
in the works? Is there an add-on of sorts that can be used?<br>
<br>
Thanks for entertaining and responding to my question.<br>
