[Building Sakai] Skin Selector in Test and Quizzes

[Paul Lukasewych]

I'm interested in the NPS Mathjax solution, so if anyone from NPS can provide more 
details that would be great.

In 2.9 (or 2.8 if you enable manually add it to CKEditor and upgrade textarea) there is 
support for for the fMath plugin (SAK-23266) which allows a user to import a latex file 
or latex plain text. This would probably be the easiest for instructors. 


And I agree with Steve, most likely that specific local skin does something special to 
load up mathjax only for those sites that manually enable it. We didn't ever add 
Mathjax system wide because by default it has to either parse everything (which slows 
down the browsing experience) or has to parse specific div classes (which instructors 
wouldn't know about and nobody ever wrote a WYSIWYG editor plugin for).

Hi Paul,


The Skin selector tool is here:
https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib/edia/skin-manager/[2]



Though I dont think you need that for what you want, that document is specific to 
NPS and presumably the naval_math skin has the config for the math editor. So what 
you really want is to install the math editor. 


cheers,
Steve

Hi All,


We are trying to incorporate the Skin Selector into the Tests and Quizzes so that users 
can use Latex Math equations. We found this document that outlines the steps to 
accomplish this: 


http://faculty.nps.edu/dl/tools/math_tool/MathTool_tutorial.pdf[4]



However, we cannot find the tool source code, or configuration steps for this.
