@elodszopos can you take a first look at this? ping if you need me to look too

[narayankj]

@edeustace @elodszopos Math rendering in Categorize has issues in different scenarios. Even regular math equations end up displaying latex. Ex: when drop some choice in category, click check answer then show correct answer, equations in choices dropped in category turn latex.

This is another case of writing the content of an editable-html component wrong.
This is how the first choice is written:

"<span mathjax=\"\" data-latex=\"\">420\\text{ cm}=4.2\\text{ meters}</span>"

Ad this is how it should be written:

"<span mathjax=\"\" data-latex=\"\">\\(420\\ cm\\ =\\ 4.2\\ meters\\)</span>"

This seems to be wrong:

420\\text{ cm}=4.2\\text{ meters}

This is working:

\\(420\\ cm\\ =\\ 4.2\\ meters\\)

The result:

Will investigate why plain latex is not working and how to make it work.

@lakatosandrei These are questions imported from CoreSpring and works in their system.

@lakatosandrei any update on this?

[lakatosandrei]

Hey @PowerMyLearningConnect I think this issue is fixed, please get the latest version of the editor.
The fixing of these issues took a back seat but I'm going to work on them shortly.

[edeustace]

do we have the version in which the fix went in @lakatosandrei ? I guess if @PowerMyLearningConnect are happy we can then close this issue?

@edeustace @PowerMyLearningConnect
The latest version of editable-html is good to go. So if the elements (multiple-choice, categorize etc.) that use the editable-html package have the latest version of it (I see they do) this should no longer be an issue. And the latest versions of the elements should work fine.
