D2L/brightspace rendering issue #52

Open owensks opened 3 years ago

I've imported the CheckIt problem database into Brightspace. The V1 standard on verifying vector space axioms tends to display the extra space "\," characters, which confused some of my students as they thought they had to divide stuff by other stuff. (Oops! I hadn't realized in enough time to send them a warning.)

Not sure why this happens but Drew sent me here to log my report.

tl;dr: this is fixed now in our TBIL Institute CoCalc project.

Explanation: This is a bug that's caused by CoCalc using an outdated version of https://pypi.org/project/latex2mathml/ by default. It seems to be fixed in https://github.com/roniemartinez/latex2mathml/blob/master/latex2mathml/commands.py#L385 so I made the update. I'm leaving this open as a reminder that in CheckIt 0.2 I need to configure appropriate versions of all our dependencies.
