Hi Julian,<br><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><br><br> <br><div class="gmail_quote">

free to ask any questions here – there are quite a few folk with a good

<p style="margin-left: 36pt;">Greetings All,</p><div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"><br>
<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>
