Hi Lars,
As to what latex can you use: you can put in formulas with \(...\) and
\[ ... \]. Anything else should be through a WeBWorK macro which
decides how to expand depending on the display mode (tth, dvipng,
hardcopy, plain html).
With something like an enumerate envirnment, making a big image of it
for display on a web page is not really the right approach. Html
has a numbered list environment. The right appoach would be to
code the problem so that it ends up as \begin{enumerate} when producing
hardcopy, and <OL> when displaying on a web page.
WeBWorK has such a facility. I have never tried it, but it is
there. I am guessing that others didn't use it either when
writing problems.
My guess is that such problems look ok when using latex2html. The
entire problem was run through the converter, and the result looked
fine. That was what the problem authors were probably looking at,
and hardcopy was fine, so it seemed good.
John
