[LON-CAPA-users] Variable sig figs (not a range)

[Stuart Raeburn]

Doug,

>> There is a preprocessor function, too.

Note: pre-processing of numerical, formula, and string response using  
the "preprocess" attribute was first included in LON-CAPA 2.10.1

So to be able to use that in your domain your library server (and  
access servers) need to be updated from 2.10.0 to 2.10.1

Release notes for 2.10.1 are here:
http://mail.lon-capa.org/pipermail/lon-capa-announce/2011/000077.html

In the meantime you may wish to explore this functionality on the  
standalone testdrive cluster:

https://testdrive.loncapa.org

Create an account, author space, and course in the testdrive domain,  
if you have not done so before, using your e-mail address as username.
