Mathematics tools

Well, I can't help you with mimeTeX, but if you can't get it to work, you might consider using the jsMath filter instead. This uses JavaScript in the student's browser to display the mathematics rather than a program on the server that creates images, so there are fewer configuration problems.

Since the jsMath filter is a contributed filter, not one of the ones that is part of the main Moodle distribution, you need to get and install it separately. The latest version is available by CVS at

    http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/moodle/contrib/jsmath

or you can download the whole thing via:

    http://download.moodle.org/download.php/modules/jsmath.zip

There is a README file that explains how to install and configure the filter.

Hope that helps.
