I seem to recall that there is a way to specify an alternate notation within
the <script> tags of a problem, but cannot recall how to do this. If a
student submits an answer using natural logs with the notation ln, how can I
replace ln with log in their answer so that Maxima will understand it?

Thanks,
Justin

P.S. I know that I can specify a collection of answers in formula response
problems, but I want ln to be treated as log so that equivalent answers will
be recognized, such as ln(x^n) and n*ln(x).
