Hi Damien,
Thanks for your reply. At least now I know that I was chasing the wind. I was
able to get close by using Sigma in place of sum in the expression, but then
only the "n" was subscripted, not the "=1" part, even though I used braces:
_{n=1}...
I had initially tried to render the equation in the xml portion of the problem,
but when I did that I had a lot of trouble properly displaying some of the
variables using the <m>$...$</m> command. It worked in some places but not
others.
This is as close as I have been able to get to a proper expression:
[cid:image001.png@01D26DF0.DF719FF0]
In the xml portion I have been able to render it nicely:
[cid:image002.png@01D26DF6.82F21010]
...but only if I hard-code the constants in the two fractions and inside the
sine. Is there a way to display variable values from the perl script in place
of the constants? I have tried a few things, but all were unsuccessful.
Thanks,

The algebra element has its own syntax. I do not know if it is documented, but
we can look at the code at
http://source.lon-capa.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/loncom/xml/algebra/AlgParser.pm?rev=1.18
The regular expressions used to recognized functions are:
my $trigfname = '(?:(?:a(?:rc)?)?(?:sin|cos|tan|sec|csc|cot)h?)';
my $otherfunc =
'(?:exp|abs|logten|log|ln|sqrt|sgn|step|fact|int|lim|fun[a-zA-Z])';
There is no sum. To display a sum, you could use the TeX syntax as Gerd
suggested, within <m>$ $</m>.
Damien
