An me needs to go inside a p, always.

Please learn how to read the schema via the browser at the documentation page and learn to perform validation.

I'm trying. It's not easy for some of us to learn everything at once or get software working on Windows.

And I would love to have a suggestion of how to learn to read the schema. For instance, looking at this http://mathbook.pugetsound.edu/doc/schema/ I am not sure how to tell that must be included in a

environment.

For those of us who aren't very computer-savvy, and haven't programmed since the days of C++ in the early 90s, it is very hard to understand what is going on, even when we read the Author Guide and go to the schema pages.

In the left (bottom-ish) panel, scroll to "me".

Two choices, ignore the "WW" one for WebWork. Click on it.

Find

"Included in content model of elements (4):"

List items and "p" are the only places it can go.

(And text (ie for LaTeX) and "fillin" are all that go inside an "me".)

Jess, I consider myself very computer-savvy. Been doing it since I took my first "computer" course in the EE Dept. at Berkeley in 1961. And I've been programming ever since, in about a dozen different assembly languages, and several high-level languages, and in research, industry, and teaching. And I find it difficult learning this new (to me) stuff. I tried to remind myself of times like this (learning new stuff) when I was still teaching and getting frustrated with students who were having trouble understanding new things. :-)

I also try to remember what my piano teacher told me back in the 80s. She said that she didn't feel so bad when she learned that Alicia de Larrocha still practiced eight hours a day.

Thank you. I had read those options as where it could be included, not where it had to be, and didn't know the WW was for WebWork.

Btw, it turns all the s in my book causing problems for me were, in fact, in

environments. I put the mini.ptx in a

environment and still couldn't compile. I opened a new issue. If I'm still busy committing gross newbie sins, I'm sure you'll close it and let me know.

On your xsltproc command-line try adding

-stringparam whitespace flexible

and report what happens.

sklarjk commented 7 years ago

That compiled! Thanks, Rob.

Thanks, Bob. My own struggle is definitely a good thing for me to keep in mind while teaching!

Thanks again for your .sh file, also. This evening I managed to modify it to compile my PTX files to HTML (resp., LaTeX). It is so helpful to be able to compile with so few key strokes, plus I got the little boost of having written (well, adapted something already written) to my own script (I think it's a script, lol?).
