Thanks for this clarification Stuart!

As you suggested I changed the default to MathJax (was tth).  I think it looks much \
nicer - so, student problem solved and prettier to look at to boot!

Again, thanks,

Nathan

Nathan,

If using the m tag in LON-CAPA, you should wrap math expressions either with <m> $ $ \
</m>, or <m> \(   \) </m> (both are valid ways of entering math mode in recent \
versions of LaTeX).

If you want to display the expression as a centered equation you would wrap the \
expression with <m> \[ \] </m>.

Although the MathJax renderer will display a TeX expression without the math mode \
characters you may encounter errors with the tth (TeX to HTML) renderer.


Course Coordinators can enforce use of a specific math rendering engine for the \
course via: Settings > Course Settings > Display  ("Display of resources" checked) > \
"Force use of a specific math rendering engine"



The next release will also allow you to set  the "default method to display \
mathematics" for your domain, and the default used will become MathJax, if a domain \
default is not set. (Currently the default renderer is tth).
