So yes, I suppose if you did

<tex src=”some LaTeX” alt=”An alt string”>

We could display the alt text.

We do the samee thing in both:

You write <tex src=”someLatexHere”>…

…and we fish out the latex string, send it to a server, which sends the image back, which we display.

The tex is a find and replace so should support an alt tag as well

You are right – the current LaTeX support uses the LaTeX input and creates an image which is ok for many learners but not for screenreader users.

I don’t know the answer to this so it’s really a question to Julian - would the html5 output on Toolkits 1.9 offer better options – for example having plain text Latex embedded in html - or is it the Flash editor that creates the limitations rather than the Flash compiler?

I tried Latex and it worked, but one of the requisites of the LO i'm doing is that it's fully accessible. I tested it and it doesn't seem to be, it creates an image...
Dave said something about the text area type and I was wondering: Do you think it's possible to create a model based on slideshow and change the type of the text area?

I'm using XOT 1.8
and i'm trying to display texts like: n < 20

What version of xot are you using?

Give us an example of what you are trying to display?

I'm using Xerte Online Toolkit and I'm using the slideshow template

Hmm.

In Xerte desktop if I put

1 < 2

it appears correctly.

Where exactly are you entering the text?

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

i think its < > isn't it?

If I put: 1 < 2
It appears: 1
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
