Unit/Lesson retrieved from LOR doesn't contain content?
I published a single unit to the LOR. When I published it to a different course: * The text in the Unit and nested Lessons was missing (I could re-add it after the fact) * The HTML topics nested beneath the unit/lessons have content. Is this expected behavior? I would expect that the text in the unit/lessons would be…

How do I turn on the pagination features of the Visual Table of Contents?
Some more control over tile pagination is specifically referenced as a (extremely useful, IMHO) feature of the Visual TOC here, and elsewhere. I assume there are some new properties and values I can add to the config.txt for this. However, it isn't referenced in the Managing the Visual TOC documentation, and the config.txt…

How does the regex \s* work?
I was trying to use regex in some Fill In Blank questions. I entered a regex as: 5\s*v? in order to accept 5 or 5v or 5 v as answers.
