Small Latex filter problem

Small Latex filter problem

Hello,
I have just installed Moodle 1.6 development on latest smp_64 fedora. I have tested latex and it works fine on the system. The standard algebra filter for quizzes works fine in Moodle. when I try to run latex in the quiz module, it appends (well actually precedes) my equations with a preamble, as if the latex system was processing the preamble as part of the equation. The equation is typeset perfectly after this point, however. Furthermore, when I click on the equation image and get teh Latex debug screen, I can type in my equation or use the default exanple and images pop out perfectly.

I adjusted the latex filter settings to eliminate all the entries for the Latex Preamble statements, but this did not change the output.

I'm kind of stuck on this, and would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks much

Okay - eliminating the administrative preamble stuff cleared up the problem. Apparantly, the cache was not clearing fast enough, so I did not see a change in my output until I changed the original equation.

Now I have a small issue with GIFT importation of tex sequences, but I will check out the threads and appropriate categories for this new issue.

Cheers approve
