Hi,

If it is to do with the display of problem, a sty(le) file may be what you
are looking for. A sty file together with its own css file will allow you
to repackage the display of the problem. Sty file can be loaded for a
course so it applies to all the problems.

Do a search for mime type sty and there are quick a few examples. I use my
own

/res/fsu/ng/Tools/problem.sty

which has links for reference data, units etc for numerical problems.

Hi, If it is to do with the display of problem, a sty(le) file may be what you \
are looking for. A sty file together with its own css file will allow you to \
repackage the display of the problem. Sty file can be loaded for a course so it \
applies to all the problems. Do a search for mime type sty and there are \
quick a few examples. I use my own /res/fsu/ng/Tools/problem.sty which \
has links for reference data, units etc for numerical \
problems. -hk <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Mar 15, 2012 at \

The only feedback I received was that they liked the layout of Moodle&#39;s \
questions better. =[ 
In Moodle the question data is on the left in a grey background. The question data \
being: question name (number in Moodle&#39;s case), if it has been submitted, and how \
many questions it is worth. To the right of that is the question with a light blue \
background. The background in both instances spans a rectangular area, not just \
behind the words.

So I was thinking of having the question data with a grey background and adding some \
more information to it like date &amp; time of when to submit the question by. The \
question in a light coloured background and if I have special instructions (to remind \
students how to enter solutions) then it would be in a different colour or just have \
a simple border around it.

Don&#39;t get me wrong, I believe that my colleagues like the functionality of Lon \
Capa but they are not dazzled by it. I think the appearance is the dazzling limiting \
factor. So if I can make some simple changes and polish up the look, I think \
they&#39;ll really like it.

Thanks.<br>

No, we don&#39;t have that.<br>
<br>
&gt;  If so, then could I get a link to it? I&#39;d really like to see if I can \

It would help to get some details of what exactly your colleagues take offense at. \
CSS may not be the best solution.<br> <br>
