Comment: Clarification about finding the button, and Java

Mathematics and scientific notations have historically been difficult to display electronically.

Moodle has a new built-in Equation editor that replaces the old DragMath editor. When editing text in Moodle you can now type in mathematics and scientific notations and formulae.

  1. Have the default Moodle editor enabled (in case of doubt, its name is Atto). Have Java up to date on your computer.
  2. In your Moodle space, be in a context where you can edit (e.g. a Page, Quiz question, Forum post).
  3. In the text editor toolbar select the Toggle Toolbar button; an expanded toolbar displays.
  4. From the expanded toolbar select the Insert Equation button; either the equation editor will display or you will be prompted to allow it in your browser's security settings (if the latter, then do allow it).
