311 <p
>First here is a brief overview on how the algebra filter works
. It
312 takes an algebra expression
and first translates it into TeX
. It first
313 looks
for the TeX translation in the Moodle database in the table cache_filters
314 in the field rawtext
. If not found
, it passes the algebraic expression to the
315 Perl script algebra2tex
.pl
, which also uses the Perl library AlgParser
.pm
.
316 It then saves the TeX translation in the database
for subsequent uses
and
317 passes the TeX to the mimetex executable to be converted to a gif image
.
318 Here are a few common things that can go wrong
and some suggestions on how
319 you might
try to fix them
.</p
>
321 <li
>Something had gone wrong on a previous occasion when the filter tried to
322 translate this expression
. Then the database entry
for that expression contains
323 a bad TeX translation in the rawtext
field (usually blank
). You can fix this
324 by clicking on
"
;Delete DB Entry
"
;</li
>
325 <li
>The First Stage TeX Translation gives a
"
;No text output available
"
;
326 message
. If your server is running Windows
, this may be due to the fact that
327 you haven
't installed Perl or didn't install it correctly
. If your server is
328 running some version of
Unix (e
.g
. Linux
), then this may be due to your Perl
329 binary being installed in a nonstandard location
. To fix this edit the first
330 line of the algebra2tex
.pl script
. Another possible problem which may affect
331 both Unix
and Windows servers is that the web server doesn
't have execute permission
332 on the algebra2tex.pl script. In that case change permissions accordingly</li>
333 <li>The Second Stage TeX Translation produces malformed TeX. This indicates
334 a bug in the algebra filter. Post the original algebraic expression and the
335 bad TeX translation in the <a href="http://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=752">
336 Mathematics Tools</a> forum in the Using Moodle course on moodle.org.</li>
337 <li>The TeX to gif image conversion process does not work. If your server is
338 running Unix, a likely cause is that the mimetex binary you are using is
339 incompatible with your operating system. You can try compiling it from the
340 C sources downloaded from <a href="http://www.forkosh.com/mimetex.zip">
341 http://www.forkosh.com/mimetex.zip</a>. Lastly check the execute permissions
342 on your mimetex binary, as outlined in item 2 above.</li>
