Using mathematical and chemical formulas in Wooclap questions
Wooclap allows you to insert mathematical and chemical formulas in a question and its possible answers by using the AsciiMath and LaTeX formats. Know that it is possible to import into Wooclap a Moodle quizz including LaTeX equations. Conversely, importing into Moodle a Wooclap question including LaTeX content is also possible.
Note : These formats are not supported in the answers of Matching questions and for the categories of the Brainstorming questions. These answers/categories are displayed on students' phones as drop-down lists, the design of which we can't control. We are currently looking for a way to work around that limitation.
Guide to use mathematical and chemical formulas in your Wooclap's questions
AsciiMath
Simply surround formulas by backticks ` or by the elements <math> and </math>.
Examples:
<math>1/(x+1)</math>
or
`1/(x+1)`
<math>sum_(i=1)^n i^3=((n(n+1))/2)^2</math>
or
`sum_(i=1)^n i^3=((n(n+1))/2)^2`
You will find a summary of the available symbols here.
LaTeX
Examples:
$\frac{1}{x+1}$$e^{i \pi} + 1 = 0$$\oiint_{\partial \Omega} \mathbf{E}\cdot\mathrm{d}\mathbf{S} = \frac{1}{\varepsilon_0} \iiint_\Omega \rho \,\mathrm{d}V$
The formulas are rendered using the KaTeX engine. The list of supported functions is available here: https://katex.org/docs/supported.html.
N.B. If you wish to use the "dollar" sign in your question, here is how you can obtain it, without messing up your LaTeX format. You have to add a \ just before the "dollar":
$$ 500 or \$ 500
Chemical formulas
Chemical equations can also be created in Wooclap thanks to the mhchem format. You just need to put a $ at the beginning and the end of the equation to make it appear in Wooclap. You will find more examples and information about the mhchem extension here.
Here are some examples:
Chemical formulae
$\ce{Sb2O3}$
Charges
$\ce{Y^99+}$
Nuclides/Isotopes
$\ce{^227_90Th+}$
Reaction arrows
$\ce{A <--> B}$
Parentheses and brackets
$\ce{[\{(X2)3\}2]^3+}$
Variables
$\ce{x Na(NH4)HPO4 ->[\Delta] (NaPO3)_x + x NH3 ^ + x H2O}$
