<li>Added install/uninstall script possibilities for plugins (BT#1752)</li>
<li>Integrate svg-edit. Teachers, students (into his/her user folder) and groups can create, edit and import SVG vector graphics online and export to PNG (Feature #2044, #2101,)</li>
<li>A new plugin for making ASCIIsvg-based mathematical graphics has been created for the online editor (enable it from administrator's section). For using it, browsers should support SVG-technology. See a demo, implemented on TinyMCE: <ahref="http://www.imathas.com/editordemo/demo.html"target="_blank">http://www.imathas.com/editordemo/demo.html</a>; for syntax and additional information see <ahref="http://www1.chapman.edu/~jipsen/svg/asciisvg.html"target="_blank">http://www1.chapman.edu/~jipsen/svg/asciisvg.html</a>. This plugin uses the library file chamilo/main/inc/lib/asciimath/ASCIIMathML.js which has combined functionality ASCIIMathML + ASCIIsvg (Feature #2132)</li>

You can enable mathematical equations writing inside the Chamilo online editor (FCKEditor) by applying the following steps:

<li>1. Configure your Apache installation to add a cgi-bin directory that contains a symbolic link to the mimetex.cgi in <i>chamilo/main/inc/lib/mimetex/</i> (*see below, step 4)</li>

<p>Inside documents, the script ASCIIMathML.js renders mathematical formulas in two altrnative ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>By translation ASCIIMath formula notation into MathML code. MathML standard currently is supported by the following browsers:
<ul>
<li>Mozilla Firefox, you may consider installing STIX fonts (<ahref="http://www.stixfonts.org">http://www.stixfonts.org</a>) on your client machines for nice looking formulas</li>
<li>Internet Explorer 6 or higher with the add-on MathPlayer 2.0 or higher (<ahref="http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathplayer">http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathplayer</a>)</li>
<li>Opera 9.5 or higher</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>For browser that do not support MathML - by translation ASCIIMath formula notation into TeX notation and passing it to
an external service. The external service produces and returns an image that contains the formula. This way is so called
"image-based fallback".
