For some reason I am getting (see 3214 cba 3, press reveal) the following as an example where jme and latex do not seem to be working together!

vara varb simplifyc1a+c2b simplifyd1a+d2b vara varb−varfloor(b/a)timesvara simplifyc1a+c2b simplify[std,noleadingMinus]d1a+d2b−floor(b/a)∗(c1a+c2b) vara varb simplifyc1a+c2b simplifyd1a+d2b vara−varfloor(a/b)timesvarb varb simplify[std,noleadingMinus]c1a+c2b−floor(a/b)∗(d1a+d2b) simplifyd1a+d2b vara varb

Also Test 1 Q5 Error: JSXGraph: Can't create point with parent types 'number' and 'undefined'. Possible parent types: [x,y], [z,x,y], etc. It then hangs.

Oh, poo. This is because I made backslash an escape character in strings. That's a good idea, but it means all backslashes currently in JME strings need to be doubled. What do you want to happen?

• go through and double up all backslashes
• make only \" and \' escape characters.
• use a different escape character

[christianp]

And please make two issues if you have two errors.

[BillFoster]

I am attracted by having only \" and \' as escape characters. What future headache could that create?

[BillFoster]

Line spacing has disappeared from the Steps sections of 3214 cba 3 questions

[christianp]

Ahhh! I missed them out when de-textiling everything. How annoying. Will have to wait until tomorrow, because the script that did it is only on my uni PC.

[christianp]

Gaps are probably missing formatting, too.

[BillFoster]

Ideally done before 10.45 tomorrow if at all possible - just to give the workshop a thrill!

[christianp]

Or you can fix it yourself now if it's important.

[christianp]

I've fixed the steps and gaps in all the examples.

Many thanks
