<TITLE>RE: [LON-CAPA-users] Increasing the math font in the XML style sheet</TITLE>

<!-- Converted from text/plain format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I'm using jsMath. I really like it except the expressions/numbers in the fractions are too small. Is there a way to modify the math class and increase the font size to +1 or +2 of whatever font the user is using?<BR>
<BR>
I tried to define m and /m in the xml style sheet to increase the font size but that didn't work, it ended up not processing the math environment stuff and printed it out on the web.<BR>

Hi,<BR>
<BR>
You might want to try the other math display modes, for example MimeTeX or jsMath. You can set those in your course preferences.<BR>
<BR>
Main Menu -> Modify Course Configuration -> Display of Resources -> Force use of a specific math rendering engine<BR>
<BR>
Needs course reinitialization to kick in.<BR>
