Browser and tables in numbas

[BillFoster]

Running Q7 in MAS3214 on safari, FF or chrome and revealing the answer gives a table which has once again a lot of white space. But not in IE - looks good there! (for a change)

Is it because the questions have not been recompiled?

Worked fine when I compiled it. Maybe @anthonyyoud hadn't pulled in changes to both repos?

[BillFoster]

Also see the gist file below - a question which includes a table

git://gist.github.com/1722966.git

Here the following error appears on all browsers - I cannot find an error

Numbas Error: Not enough arguments for | |

That wasn't anything to do with the table - the JME parser was interpreting the 'or' at the beginning of 'organisation' as the logical OR operation!

[BillFoster]

Blimey - that was obscure - I will have to learn to debug. Many thanks.

I recompiled the CBA yesterday after the latest git commit (it wasn't a
direct copy from inishmore).

I have tested the exam at my end and it displays the table OK - perhaps a git pull is needed and a recompile?

[BillFoster]

What state are we in now? There has been a fix for the current display of Q7 in MW's course but is there more work to be done?

[christianp]

The problem yesterday was caused by some kind of peculiarity with the Python setup on the server. I'm trying to work out what it is now.

You don't need to do anything different when writing .exam files.

[christianp]

Sorted it - xml.etree.ElementTree has changed very subtly between Python 3.1 and 3.2. @anthonyyoud was still on 3.1.

[BillFoster]

Is there still a problem with the display of tables using textile or just plain html?

[christianp]

No.
