+Style files (.sty extension) created in Authoring Space and published to the shared content pool
+can be selected for use when rendering resources in the course by clicking the
+\underline{Select Style File} link. See the ``Resource Types'' item in the ``Introduction to LON-CAPA
+Authoring'' section in the Authoring manual for more information about .sty files. An alternative to
+the use of .sty files is to create a CSS file (.css extension) in Authoring Space, and publish to the shared content pool. Note: in this case you would use a problem parameter ``CSS file to link (cssfile)'', accessed via Content Settings, instead of Course Settings, to apply the style to resource(s) in your course.

+Composite Pages include two or more resources on a single web page. By selecting ``Yes'' for
+visible separation, adjacent resources will be separated by a horizontal rule.
-Math rendering defaults to the student's individual setting. If desired to
-force a specific math rendering\index{math rendering} option for the course,
-use this screen.
+Problem Receipts will be displayed by default when feedback on correctness is being displayed to a student, and the student has submitted the correct solution. See the ``Verify a Submission Receipt Number'' section (\ref{Grade_Verify}).

+The
+default for math rendering\index{math rendering} is to convert using the display
+mechanism that the user has selected in preferences.
+This can be overriden by setting the attribute display to one of \textbf{MathJax},
+\textbf{mimetex} or
+\textbf{tth} which will force a specfic display mechanism. Note, however, that setting
+the attribute display to jsmath is generally discouraged as it requires users to have
+installed jsmath fonts on their computer. See \\ \texttt{http://www.math.union.edu/\char`~ dpvc/jsmath/}.
