ASCIIMathML support for middle school math teacher blog!

Dave,

Do you have access to a FTP or another method of uploading the folder files to your server?

1. If so, then upload all of the files to your server.
2. Then you will need to find the URL path of the .js file.
3. After you have found this then you can paste that URL into your line of code that ASCIIMath gave you.
4. Then take that whole code and copy it.
5. Then open up wordress and open up the theme editor under “presentation”.
6. Open up the file called “header” or “header.php” and paste your code anywhere between the < head> & < /head> tags.
7. That should be it!

I hope it works out for you!

Thanks!
I have the blog up and running and I have full access to it via transmit (Mac). I figured out that I should put the line of code in the header sheet, that’s no sweat with the editor in wp.

But, where do I put the ASCIIMathML.js file, in wp/content or wp/admin or does it matter? I assume that I just need to point to it in that 1 line of magic code (the .js file)?!

TIA,
Dave

RedBMedia, I’m still confused, I did some poking around. Here is the excerpt of the code of the ASCIIMathML.js. It looks like the

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”ASCIIMathML.js”></script>

goes in the header part of my theme as you stated.

But, where does this actual file (see below, I just did an excerpt) ASCIIMathML.js go? The hint seems to point to leaving it in the same place (or same level) as the header?

Maybe you’re telling me to copy ALL of the code to the header part of the theme?

Thanks again,
Dave

ASCIIMathML.js

==============

This file contains JavaScript functions to convert ASCII math notation

to Presentation MathML. The conversion is done while the (X)HTML page

loads, and should work with Firefox/Mozilla/Netscape 7+ and Internet

Explorer 6+MathPlayer (https://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathplayer/).

Just add the next line to your (X)HTML page with this file in the same folder:

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”ASCIIMathML.js”></script>

This is a convenient and inexpensive solution for authoring MathML.

Practically, you can have it anywhere, just make sure this line will have the correct path:
src="ASCIIMathML.js"
If you leave it like this, the script will be looking for the file in the theme folder.

Exactly, you can upload the file anywhere that you would like. Just copy the entire URL or address location and paste it in the code they provided. See below:

URL OR ADDRESS LOCATION OF ASCIIMathML.js:

‘https://www.YourDomain.com/RandomFolder/ASCIIMathML.js&#8217;

ORGINAL CODE:

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”ASCIIMathML.js”></script>

NEW CODE:

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”https://www.YourDomain.com/RandomFolder/ASCIIMathML.js”></script&gt;

Thanks guys so much, I’m going to give it a shot!
Dave

Thanks again! Followed your instructions, added a folder for the .js file and pointed to it explicitly in the header line.

It works!!! Displays great in Firefox and Camino doesn’t in IE, but that’s why we DON’T use it!

This is why I use WordPress, for the support that users provide each other. Thanks sooooooo much!

Dave
