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?

Alistair
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
Ron 
 
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
