latex works but it looks so terrible

Hi,

it is no problem, to include rendered formulas as bitmaps. But this isn't, what we want in online discussions about i.e. mathematics. What do I have to do, to get beautifull mathematical formulas?

Just to see what here is done ($$$f(x)=\int\limits_{-N}^{N}e^{x}dx,\; \forall x\epsilon \mathbb R$$$):
$$f(x)=\int\limits_{-N}^{N}e^{x}dx,\; \forall x\epsilon \mathbb R$$

I get this on my moodle: sampleimage

This is, what I would like to have: Sample Image

The Server runs as apache2, openSuse 11.0. and the filter configuration is as standard says. Ghostscript, getnonfreefonts-sys, texlive (2007) are installed

Try to change gifs to pngs in 4 files of tex filter:

If you want to get larger integral add \displaystyle to

f(x)=\displaystyle\int\limits_{-N}^{N}e^{x}dx,\; \forall x\epsilon \mathbb R

and it looks like this here in moodle.org (with tex filter):

$$ f(x)=\displaystyle\int\limits_{-N}^{N}e^{x}dx,\; \forall x\epsilon \mathbb R $$ and without \limits like this $$ f(x)=\displaystyle\int_{-N}^{N}e^{x}dx,\; \forall x\epsilon \mathbb R $$

(If you need to use gifs it might also be possible to modify the convert command of tex filter or to use for example ImageMagick instead of Ghostscript for convert command - see for example http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=14477 - hopefully you have the correct path to in settings of tex filter for convert...)

Hi,

thanks a lot! This was difficult to find, but the solution is so simple wink
