Hi,
is there a way, a trick, a workaround to allow mathematical equations to be written directly into the HTML editor without having to insert the .gif image generated by the usual HTML filter embedded into MS Word>Save as Web Page...?
thanks,
Paolo
Moodle supports two markup languages, LaTeX and Algebra. LaTeX is the more powerful of the two, and is widely used by mathematicians. To use either language, your administrator must activate a filter. Then you can type mathematical expressions directly in the HTML editor. For example, if you type the following LaTeX expression
3x^2+2x^2+5x+3=0
(surrounded by double dollar signs -- not shown), the page will be rendered like this:$$3x^2+2x^2+5x+3=0$$
HI John,
thank you for your help, but as an administrator I've activated both Algebra and Tex notation filters on my standard 1.7 moodle and still if I type $$ y=x $$ I don't get any output at all when I send the post on the forum, just the regular text around the "ghost wanna be" equation.
Should I think of a permissions problem on my hosting server?
thank you,
Paolo

How does one do example dimensional analysis in latex in moodle? for example, using \frac with units in it...and is it possible to show cancelled out units?
