So for example, a student typing `inf` or `infinity` is seeing output of the form `\\in f` or `\\in f\\in ity`.\r\n\r\nNot sure if it there are other scenarios as common as \"inf\", but it also does this for other strings. So if there were a string answer \"topology\", it is showing you output from `\\top o\\log y`. \r\n\r\nIs this just a configuration issue? If so, where is MathView configured?\r\n\r\nOr maybe it's just assumed that with string answers, the student doesn't activate MathView?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/openwebwork/webwork2/issues/comments/144851412","html_url":"https://github.com/openwebwork/webwork2/issues/638#issuecomment-144851412","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/openwebwork/webwork2/issues/638","id":144851412,"user":{"login":"apizer","id":1406230,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1406230?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/apizer","html_url":"https://github.com/apizer","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/apizer/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/apizer/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/apizer/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/apizer/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/apizer/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/apizer/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/apizer/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/apizer/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/apizer/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-10-01T21:10:11Z","updated_at":"2015-10-01T21:10:11Z","body":"One has exactly the same issues with \"Show Past Answers\" for the same reason.
