\label{Course_Prefs_Display}

This panel lets you set various display options for content.
\begin{itemize}
	\item Default XML style sheet
	\item Visibly Separate Items on a Page
	\item Disable Display of Problem Receipts
	\item Force use of a specific math rendering engine
	\item Set default options for $<$m$>$ tags when 
converting \LaTeX{} to html. 

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.

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{jsMath}, \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/}.
