[Xerte] New to Xerte

[Julian Tenney]

Welcome to Xerte. This is place to post all questions about the
software. It will take you a while to get oriented - don't worry. Feel
free to ask any questions here - there are quite a few folk with a good
deal of experience on hand to help - right chaps?

 

Xerte currently has some embryonic support for LaTeX. You can inlcude it
in a text icon using the following example:

 

<tex src="e=mc^2"> //i.e. put the latex string in the src attribute. You
can see some examples here:

 

http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/play_595
<javascript:pop_up_window(%22play%22,window.name)> 

 

I can't remember if the build on the website has this feature in it yet
- it's quite new. If the example above doesn't work, let me know and
I'll upload the latest build for you. We intend to support this from our
own servers over the next few weeks,as we don't want to rely on an
outside service in the long term,

 

Thanks,

 

Julian

Greetings All,

I only just heard of Xerte today.   Downloaded and installed because it
looks promising.
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.
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?

Thanks for entertaining and responding to my question.
