  Sasha, there is a different approach in this discussion:
  
  https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=405377
  
  You will find a question submitted by Dominique with some javascript code you can copy and paste into your questions.

  Thank you Edgardo for the quick reply! Unfortunately, I'm not programmer and didn't understand that messaging very well. I would be grateful if you can point me directly where is Dominique script and how I can correct comma problem.

  Check this section in moodleformulas.org:
  https://moodleformulas.org/course/view.php?id=22&section=25
  
  There is a .txt file called "JavaScript code for decimal comma.txt". When you create a new Formulas Question in your question bank, you have to include that javascript code in the text part of the question.
  Before copying and pasting that code, you have to enter the "Edit HTML" mode (in your question editor it could be a button showing "html" or "<>"). Just add the code included in the .txt file at the bottom of the html code of the question.
  In that same section you will find an example question "Decimal Comma". You could import this question and use it as reference. Edit it, enter the html mode, and you will find the javascript code included in that question.

  We are planning to upgrade our Moodle to version 3.11. Is the current version of the Formulas Question Type plugin compatible with the latest version of Moodle?

  I created a pull request on github for Moodle mobile support. It would be nice to have it merged.

  Hey folks, short question: is there a chance that this wonderful plugin gets an update for the next longtime release 4.1 ? Do you know anything? Kind regards David

  I may be wrong here, and please correct me if I am, but could the students just click on the page that these type questions are displayed and look at the source code to get the answer?
  Not an ideal situation when testing students if that is the case.

  As a rule of thumb, whenever you think you found a trivial way of cheating a well-established, extensively tested and highly used system, you should always double check, because you're probably wrong.
  
  Students have no way to access what you call the "source code" of the question. Otherwise, virtually ALL of Moodle's question types (except e.g. essay questions and the like) would become obsolete, because the answer is always stored somewhere, no?

  This plugin is still maintained by Prof. Dominique Bauer. There will be an update in a few weeks, hopefully with full support for Moodle 4.0.

  Hi - does anyone know what has happened to the moodleformulas dot org website? It was a great resource and had all the documentation.

  Does anyone know why formulas no longer recognizes the decbin or decoct function?

  Thanks for spotting this. While the source code contains references to functions bindec(), decbin(), decoct() and octdec(), these are AFAICS not documented anywhere. I have also never seen them working, at least not in 4.91. A quick check in the repository makes me believe, they have never been recognized as functions. (This explains the error message: they are being treated as variables.)
  
  I opened an issue in the bug tracker: https://github.com/FormulasQuestion/moodle-qtype_formulas/issues/43 and will add them (or bring them back) with the next update. Can you please confirm you have had them working and tell me what version that was? (Preferably in the bug tracker)
