- Update documentation for "Display of resources" course setting.

    1: \label{Course_Prefs_Display}
    2: 
    3: This panel lets you set various display options for content.
    4: \begin{itemize}
    5: 	\item Default XML style sheet
    6: 	\item Visibly Separate Items on a Page
    7: 	\item Disable Display of Problem Receipts
    8: 	\item Force use of a specific math rendering engine
    9: 	\item Set default options for $<$m$>$ tags when 
   10: converting \LaTeX{} to html. 
   11:         \item Student formula entry uses inline preview, not DragMath pop-up
   12:         \item Molecule editor uses JSME (HTML5) in place of JME (Java)
   13:         \item Chemical reaction response uses inline preview, not pop-up
   14: 
   15: Style files (.sty extension) created in Authoring Space and published to the shared content pool
   16: can be selected for use when rendering resources in the course by clicking the 
   17: \underline{Select Style File} link. See the ``Resource Types'' item in the ``Introduction to LON-CAPA
   18: Authoring'' section in the Authoring manual for more information about .sty files.  An alternative to
   19: 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. 
   20: 
   21: Composite Pages include two or more resources on a single web page.  By selecting ``Yes'' for 
   22: visible separation, adjacent resources will be separated by a horizontal rule.
   23: 
   24: 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}).
   25: 
   26: 
   27: If ``Force use of a specific math rendering engine'' is set to none, then the math display mechanism used to render LaTeX within <m></m> tags is determined in the following order, with the first one set being the one in effect:
   28: \begin{enumerate}
   29: \item User's own personal preference set by the user hovering over the user's name at top left of a LON-CAPA page, and selecting Preferences $>$ Math display settings
   30: \item Domain default set by a Domain Coordinator 
   31: \item System default set for the LON-CAPA version installed on the server (tth in 2.11 and earlier)
   32: \end{enumerate}
   33: This can be overriden by setting the attribute display to one of \textbf{MathJax},  
   34: \textbf{mimetex} (i.e., Convert to Images) or
   35: \textbf{tth} (i.e., TeX to HTML) which will force a specific display mechanism.
   36: 
   37: The behavior of the textboxes where students enter either an algebraic formula (formularesponse) or a chemical reaction (reactionresponse) is inherited from settings in the domain.  The default, in the absence of a specific domain setting, is to use an inline preview which appears below the textbox, as the expression is typed.  The domain default can be overridden within a specific course if it is preferred to use the old pop-up window displays in either case.
   38: 
   39: Similarly, the the molecular editor display will use the domain setting, unless overridden within a specific course.  If nothing is explicitly set in the domain or the course, then the default is to use JSME instead of its JME predecessor.
