[LON-CAPA-users] Greek Characters in formula response

[Lucas, Mark]

Stefan,

Thanks for the suggestion. I did not realize “addchars” existed.

Unfortunately under firefox and maces 10.9 I get

ERROR: Computer's answer is incorrect ("ω+α*t").
This error occurred while processing response 1_5 in part 0

and

Unable to understand formula

in the response to the answer.

Do you have any ideas why the error? Is this something that only works well under
windows or a certain browser? I’m running LC 2.11.0.

Thanks,
Mark
