Hello,
Some teachers would like to use tex notation on our Moodle platform to make it easier to create their courses, as they already use LaTeX outside of Moodle.
However, the preamble of LaTeX doesn't seem to be taken into account, the problem seems to come from /usr/bin/convert but we can't find the cause of the problem.
I installed texlive-full and imagemagick. All paths are correct.
Here is our preamble:
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{stmaryrd}
\usepackage{amssymb}
%\usepackage{latexsym}
%\RequirePackage{amsmath,amssymb,latexsym}
\newcommand{\N}{\mathbb{N}}
Using the Tex Filter Debugger, we get the following results for each test :
1 -

So the problem seems to come from convert ... (/etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml seems to be well set up though) . And in similar cases in 2004-2006, it was related to safe_mode=on, but this has become obsolete nowadays...
Does anyone know the cause of the problem and how to solve it?
Cordially,
Arnaud Taburet
