Installation instructions
-------------------------

Prerequisites:
- A working Moodle installation
- For the convenient installation through the Moodle admin interface, the web
server needs write permissions to the $moodle_root/question/format directory.
For manual installation (or if your Moodle version is < 2.5),
copy the folder "qtex" to $moodle_root/question/format.
Then, in the admin panel purge the Plugin list on
Site Administration -> Plugins -> Caching -> Configuration
- A configured and enabled TeX Notation filter is required to render the formulae.
See http://docs.moodle.org/25/en/TeX_notation_filter for instructions.
Hint: In order to improve vertical alignment of images,
add the following css to your theme:
.texrender {border:0px;vertical-align:middle;}
- Handling of images requires PHP's zip extension to be enabled

Following standard procedure, go to the administration panel under
Site Administration -> Plugins -> Install add-ons
and select the plugin type 'Question import/export format'.

The QuestionTeX format should now appear in question export/import dialogues.

If you are looking for some QuestionTeX examples to test the import,
check out the *examples/* folder.
