Problem Seed: 123456

The text of this problem seems to be missing the [ and ] characters necessary for PGML to interpret the mathematical markup.

Problems 5_1_29 and 5_1_33 and 5_1_37 and 5_1_47 and 5_1_50 in the same directory have the same problem.

[mikeshulman]

It appears that basically all the openstax problems have this issue.

[gajennings]

That's why it's better to use OPL problems instead of untested Contrib problems!

[mikeshulman]

Thanks for that and at #1323. In my webwork installation, the "Include Contrib" checkbox in the Library Browser is checked by default, so I didn't realize I was looking at untested problems rather than the tested ones in the OPL (and in fact the Contrib problems often seem to appear first). I can uncheck that checkbox, but it doesn't seem to remember that setting; every time I come back to the Library Browser I find at "Include Contrib" is checked again. Is this the intended behavior? Can it be configured differently? Should I contact my webwork administrator about it?

Dear Mike Shulman, Hmm, I don't know how to configure how Webwork's Library Browser displays Config problems — I have never seen the behavior that you describe. I suggest that you submit your question to the "Using webwork" forum https://forums.openwebwork.org/course/view.php?id=3 Somebody there ought to be able to help you. Best regards, George Jennings

Did you get any response from the Webwork Forum people? If the Library Browser sometimes lists Contrib problems before OPL problems then that will create a big mess. If you haven't received a response I will ask around to see if I can find somebody who knows.

[mikeshulman]

Glenn Rice says

Yes, that is the intended behavior. Both check boxes should be checked at initial page load.

The intent is to make Contrib problems more visible. There are many really nice problems in Contrib and before those problems were made available in the Library Browser, few people even really knew they existed.

There are problems both in Contrib and OPL that don't work right, or at least emit errors or warnings. Both receive some level of maintenance, but neither gets enough.

[gajennings]

Thanks! This is news to me, I'll need to change the way I treat Contrib problems. It's good to know. George
