In this chapter, we learned how to create more complex mathematical notation and make our notation far more accessible. We also learned how to speed up the process of including math notation in our courses by installing DragMath—a drag-and-drop equation editor that installs directly into Moodle's HTML editor. Up to now, the notation we have inserted into our courses has primarily been in the form of mathematical notation rendered in an image. This image isn't directly accessible to any user who is blind or visually impaired, unless he/she is familiar with TeX. One solution is to generate math using MathML. This isn't natively supported by all browsers, so we investigated how this support could be added into Internet Explorer.
Specifically, we covered these topics:
Installing and using the TeX filter for more advanced mathematical notation
How jsMath overcomes problems with web hosting providers who don't provide all the commands we need to make the TeX filter operate correctly
Installing...
