How do I purchase and use Math Type ($$) equation editing software?
Math Type is a commercial equation editor software that costs about $57 (educational pricing as of 2011-05-09). They offer a 30-day free trial (www.dessci.com/en/products/mathtype/trial.asp) after which it reverts to Math Type Lite (which you can keep for free forever but does NOT work in MoodleRooms). Math Type allows you to construct equations (using fairly intuitive user-friendly menus of math functions) which you can then cut-and-paste into a DB message to create inline equations in your post. After cut-and-pasting into your DB message, only the code will appear in the compose message window, but the equations will render upon submit. Attn MoodleRooms Users: You must set-up the “translators” accurately in MathType settings for the rendering in MR to work properly. See www.dessci.com/en/support/mathtype/works_with.htm?target=moodle for directions. Note that Math Type works in MR but Math Type Lite does NOT.
