Hi Ron

Many thanks for speedy response.

 

1) Now it works fine on the server BUT

2) Local version after download doesn't work - doesn't render any latex but
leaves blank spaces.

 

Is that the export function that needs tweaking or something different?

I was updating the itq installation as your message came in - try again I
think you'll find it works now?

 

However could you try exporting that and viewing locally and answer the
following:

 

1. Does it still display the latex when viewed locally?

2. If it displays is it ok or is it jumbled in any way e.g. spacing between
lines not quite right?

 

Cheers

BTW sandpit not yet updated - need to contact David about something.

Hi all

I previously creates a learning object at
http://itq.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/play_59 to show teaching staff how to
create formulae using simple Latex expressions.

 

I know there have been issues with the site that was used to host the Latex
rendering script and we now have a new solution but I'm not sure how to
implement the new solution so that my old learning object (above) will
correctly display the formulae now. 

 

I've probably missed some important comment in a thread I skimmed too
quickly but any pointers as to how to 'redeem' old formulae rich learning
objects will be very welcome.

 

Thanks

A
