NEW IN THIS RELEASE

• More choice for the TeX expressions delimiters to match your website TeX filters settings.

• And a new way to display the TeX formatted answer during attempts.

  There is now a new setting "Method to diplay answer formula".

If You choose "Using an iframe element" (default) nothing changes. There is a "Display" button and the formatted answer is displayed in an iframe.

But you can try the new method "Using dynamic AJAX request" and there is no button , the formatted formula is updated dynamically when an answer is typed (copy/paste is also supported). For this to works you must have the MathJax filter enabled (MathJax enabled by script in page head doesn't work with this method).

I think this is really better than the old iframe method.

The only drawback is that a request is made by the browser to the server each time something is typed and that could be a problem with a great number of students attempting algebra questions at the same time. I will try to improve this method to limit the number of requests in a given amount of time in a future version.

Currently when the server is not able to interpret the answer, nothing is displayed.

For instance if the student type "x^2" an "x" is displayed at the beginning, then nothing is displayed when he type "x^" as this is invalid, then when he type "x^2" the formatted answer is displayed.

If you think it would be better to display something (for instance a small warning sign) when the answer is invalid, post a comment.
