- 10.1: Transcluding (Reusing) a Page
- This page explains the advantages and processes of transcluding content in the LibreTexts Bookshelves/Course Shell system, which allows for efficient sharing and reuse of material. It highlights how transclusion keeps content updated and minimizes duplication, outlines the procedures for transcluding, and encourages the use of transclusion over forking unless edits are needed. Additionally, it describes how to convert a transcluded page into a forked version if modifications are required.
- 10.2: Forking a Transcluded (Reused) Page
- This page explores editing methodologies, focusing on customization and error correction. It describes the forking process for transcluded pages, which allows library editors to make modifications easily via a "forker" icon or the "Options" menu. It also mentions that forking effects can be reversed through "Revision History" and outlines the need for curation to ensure proper editing rights for error correction in library content.
- 10.3: Adding and Editing Equations
- This page covers the essentials of using MathJax in LibreTexts for rendering mathematical equations with LaTeX, detailing inline and display modes, equation labeling, and editing tips. It also explores mathematical notations such as derivatives, limits, and sums, emphasizing accurate syntax and formatting. Methods for displaying multiline equations are discussed, along with tools like the mhchem package for chemical equations.
- 10.4: Adding Alt-Texts
- This page highlights the significance of alt-text for images on LibreTexts to enhance SEO and ensure accessibility for visually impaired students. It details two methods for adding alt-text, emphasizes best practices like limiting descriptions to 144 characters, and suggests using blank alt tags for decorative images. Additionally, it recommends recreating tables in text form rather than using images.
- 10.5: Compiling, Batching, and the Download Center
- This page describes two main processes for exporting texts on the LibreTexts platform: Compiling and Batching. Compiling is a user-access-controlled process that starts with setting the book's access to public and requires recompilation for changes, while Batching is an automated weekly process that updates resources according to subject-specific schedules. This ensures users have access to the latest versions of materials.
- 10.6: Accessibility Checker in the Editor
- This page discusses the LibreTexts Accessibility Checker, a tool for authors to create accessible textbooks. It highlights its functions, including identifying issues with headings, graphics, tables, links, and abbreviations, and providing solutions such as heading level suggestions, alt text, and clearer link text.
