[LON-CAPA-users] gnuplot labels

[Stuart Peter Raeburn]

James, 

I tried the example from http://help.loncapa.org/fom/cache/150.html in my 
author account (created when I first installed LON-CAPA in January) on the 
VCU library server.  I included a name attribute in the curve tag, and it 
was displayed in the legend correctly, in both web brwoser and in PDF 
printout. 

It may be that an extra space before the closing > in one or more XML tags 
are causing the problems in your case.   In order to get the FAQ-o-matic to 
display LON-CAPA problem XML code in a readable form, an extra space 
typically was added before the ending > in a tag.  After pasting example 
code from FAQ-o-matic pages into the LON-CAPA XML editor I always begin by 
removing these spaces to avoid potential rendering problems.
