WeBWorK Helper Extension

=============================
NOW WORKS FOR MOST*
WEBWORK INSTALLATIONS!
=============================

This extension makes using the WeBWorK software easier and more convenient. Features include:

• Generates formatted previews of what your answers look like as you type them. No more spamming that Preview button!
• Highlights parentheses inside of input boxes so that you don't lose track of them.
• Input boxes expand to accommodate your answer so that nothing gets cut off.
• Course pages show how much of each assignment you have completed, and show the time remaining to complete each problem set.
• Add notes to problems that you can later reference when you revisit assignments to study.
...and more!




*\"most\" means installations that use the default \"\\webwork2\" path as the root of the webwork server.
Support for other types forthcoming. If this extension doesn't work for your webwork installation, please submit a bug report to help me add fixes

*This extension was created by a third party and is not endorsed by WeBWorK
