How do I display dollar signs in my problem?
if you did $dollar='$'; this will work however this is a bad
idea. Have them do this:
Script:
$a=&random(1,10,.01);
Text:
You have $${a} monies.
If they want to use $ in the answer they will need to do a string
answer type. They will also need to do this:
Script:
$a=&random(1,10,.01);
$answer='$'.$a;
Text:
You have $${a} or $answer monies.

Can I (or how can I) include an .eps file image in a LONCAPA problem?
Add the gif/jpg/png to the problem with the ![]()
tag. LON-CAPA will
convert the web graphic to an eps. For better quality, in the
directory with filename.gif, publish filename.eps. The system will
notice that an eps file is in the graphic's directory and grab that
image to be used with printing.

How can I edit my resources using search and replace methods?
Do it off-line. i.e. Write your problem on your own computer using
the editor of your choice. When you are happy with the global changes
upload it to your construction space. If you need to make changes to
an existing problem, you could "download" it to your own computer for
this purpose. Personally I'd do it by viewing the problem in the xml
editor in CSTR and then copy and paste the txt from that frame into
the local editor. Currently files in an author's construction space,
created through the web browser, are not owned by the author and
there is not group write permission set. So they can only be edited
by the author through the browser.
If there is a more satisfying answer to this question, I'd like to
hear it.
