LATEX - Math Equations and Formulas - Wordpress-Plugin

See the attached wordpress plugin for latex support. Please help with the latex display within the "response texts"  :)

Mathjax needs to fire up again and reprocess the newly to the DOM added content. Works now.

Hey bbirkett, 

yes I can share it with you but unfortunately this could not be solved simply by using an external plugin. The areas that are created after user input appear AFTER the mathjax library has initially fired. So actually we need to enhance the JS of the used library with a few lines of code. 

In my case I use the multiple choice library that controls the output of any multiple choice elements. Just follow these steps (Wordpress):

- Download this whole folder /wp-content/uploads/h5p/libraries/H5P.MultiChoice-1.10
- Locally open up this file: H5P.MultiChoice-1.10\js\multichoice.js
- Basically you have to add the following lines several times to fire up the formula rendering again whenever new elements appear. Just because sometimes the necessary space is grwos after formular rendering you should also fire up the resize function again. Therefore we have two lines of code to be added accordingly: 

MathJax.Hub.Queue(["Typeset",MathJax.Hub,""]); //fire up formula rendering

self.trigger('resize'); //resize the element

- Add these two lines for the "try again reloading" procedure which reloads the whole question. To do so find this function and add the MathJax and resize calls before the closing bracket of the function: 

self.addButton('try-again', params.UI.tryAgainButton, function () { ... }

- Also add the lines for the "insert Feedback" procedure. To do so find this function and add the MathJax and resize calls before the closing bracket of the function: 

var insertFeedback = function ($e, feedback) { ... }

- Finally also add the lines for the "General Tip" procedure. To do so find this function and add the MathJax and resize calls before the closing bracket of the function: 

 $multichoiceTip.click(function () { ... }

Nice. But we are still not here yet.

- Zip your local folder where you have made the changes to a "H5P.MultiChoice-1.10.zip" so that you have your library folder named untouched inside like "H5P.MultiChoice-1.10"

- Open up your wp-config.php file and add this line somewhere in the end. This enables us to overwrite libraries with uploads of the same version:

define('H5P_DEV', true);

- Then navigate to your Wordpress admin "H5P Content - libraries": /wp-admin/admin.php?page=h5p_libraries

- Select your zip file in the "Upload Libraries" section and make sure you have "Disable file extension check" checked! Upload it  

- Make sure that u have my plugin enabled that loads the mathjax library.

Thats it (lol). Sorry that it is so complicated. I dont like the H5P library handling and stuff and in my opinon this should be much easier. I am not a big fan of JS anyways. And I fear that the core team is not interested in implementing this although is was frequently asked for. Please share any solution you might find.

Hey Oliver, thanks for stopping by. I just had that impression cause my threads and replies regarding mathjax in this forum gained no attraction although many users have asked for solutions. I felt like the focus of development was on different things. Maybe I was just disappointed cause this thread was going unnoticed for quite some time. :)

But now that you are on board I feel much better already  :D

P.S.: What is the issue with the DEV variable? :O Did I miss something? I thought it was just for disabling the version checks on manual ibrary uploads.
