Since all pupils and teachers use modern browsers (no one dares to go online with an antique browser version...and rightly so !!) and all "non-mathml" compliant browsers use javascript mathjax (...) , I had need to force the usage of mathml e.g. to disable the use of math-with-gifs for a individual exercise. Mainly to do with exploiting the new possibility of using "math-embedded-input-fields" in any latex construct. (and I guess math-with-gifs is not the future...) However there is no easy exisiting way of direct overriding useropts. (without rewriting the var* files in the session-dir) So on our servers I've introduced a environment variable called 'force_mathml' into wims.cgi, analogue to the 'disable_zoom' environment variable for overriding "useropts" zoom settings in mathml. Now any module could override the "useropts" math-with-gifs settings , with declaring force_mathml=yes (it will set mathalignbase=2 in 'insmath.c') If this 'feature' is usefull, I will modify the files in SVN accordingly. |
