[Xerte] Re: [XOT] Inserting special character

[Alistair McNaught]

In Xerte toolkits I would use LaTeX for example <tex src=""> - for example I've added a quick  example at http://vle.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/play_147 on first slide where the text added was is <tex src="n<4">. You can see other examples at http://itq.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/play_59

Try that - if it doesn't work it might be that you have an old version of Toolkits.

Hmm.

In Xerte desktop if I put

1 < 2

it appears correctly.

Where exactly are you entering the text?

Dave

Yes, it is, but it recognizes it as a function tag and the rest of the text disappears.

It misses all the text after the symbol.
I don't know how to do this because i'm using Xerte Online Toolkits

I've never used the slideshow page (I've only used Desktop Xerte). What happens if you just try <?

Another thing that might work is to create a variable in a script icon, then embedding that variable in the text icon:

script icon:
lessThan = "<";

text icon:
{"if (1 " + lessThan + " 2) echo 'The universe is in order'; "}

Using curly braces in a text icon makes it an expression.

I realized that in Plain Text page inserting the ASCII code works, but I'm writing it in a Slideshow page

Hi,

I'm describing an equation and I'm having some trouble when trying use the symbol < as an text, not a tag.
I already used the ASCII code but still not working.
Does anyone have a clue?

Thanks!
