I am running webwork 2.5 on RedHat 5.7
Is there any documentation on legal names for homework sets and courses?

Hi,
Not sure about "dots" (.) but underscores are fine if you PROTECT them with protect_underbar. See e.g.
.../templates/ASimpleCombinedHeaderFile.pg which used the code:
{\large \bf {\{protect_underbar($courseName)\}}}
Otherwise LaTeX processes an underscore as a subscript.

Thanks for the info re underscore. An old header file was the problem.
As for "dots" in homework set names I'll give you an example.
(I am not trying to solve an issue here - we have stopped using dots and that is just fine.)
Homework set Section_1.1 containing the following problem:
Library/CollegeOfIdaho/setAlgebra_02_01_IntroFunctions/
21IntAlg_10_function.pg
generates the issue.
Making a hardcopy gives the following error:
! LaTeX Error: Unknown graphics extension: .1prob4image1.png.
Its pretty clear that latex is confused over the two dots in the filename used for the image file,
daryl-3-setSection_1.1prob4image1.png
Note this only arose for dynamically generated images.
I thank you for helping make webwork possible. It is great.

Hi Daryl,
I had forgotten about "dots". It is a well know "feature" of TeX that the full file path can not contain any "dots" except for the extension of the actual TeX file.
Some TeX packages may have a way around this (e.g. multidot) but as far as I know, there is no general way LaTeX can handle this. WeBWorK users just live without using dots in directory/file names.
