Description
When creating a question and answering open questions, it is possible to add formulas. These can be created using a special editor. The editor is based on LaTeX, a way to convert text to a desired format. This is applied here to create a formula. For more information, visit www.latex-project.org.
The figure below shows which symbols and examples are available in this editor.
The editor is located in text fields that relate to creating or answering a question. To do this, click the sigma icon on the toolbar. This is indicated by the red square in the figure below.
Note!
To make the editor available to candidates, you must set the formatting options to be visible in a question. For this purpose, set the question options ‘Text formatting available to the candidate’ to ‘Text with formatting options’.
If candidates need to create their own formula, this can only be done using an open question.
Create a formula
A formula can be created manually by filling in the Formula field. Different types of symbols and text can be used for this purpose.
For example, for the formula , the following text must be created:
\SUM_{I=1}^{N-1} N-I = (N-1) \CDOT N/2
Tip!
Click on one of the five sample formulas to automatically place the underlying text in the formula field. This can then be modified to create the desired formula
Tip!
If a formula consists of multiple lines, use the method below:
\begin{aligned}
\pi = x \\
2+y = x
\end{aligned})
