Rendering math in offline copy of a website - math

My internet connection is really sketchy where I live, so I downloaded this website. The website is a question bank for all of my classes. It is really helpful so have it offline so I used a program called HTTRack to mirror the website to my desktop. Most of the questions I need are math and science based, so the code for the website has a lot of rendered math.
The problem is, the math isn't rendering in my offline copy. The math seems to render fine in the online version here: https://www.ibdocuments.com/IB%20QUESTIONBANKS/4.%20Fourth%20Edition/questionbank.ibo.org/en/teachers/00000/questionbanks/7-dp-mathematics-hl/questions/4504.html, but I don't know why I am unable to render it as well. I would've been able to solve it if I had the knowledge to code with these, but this is all very new to me and I have never worked with web files before.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!

Note taking app with WebDav synchronization

I am looking for a good self hosted notes taking app (self hosted via WebDav, I use OwnCloud)
Some tools that I have currently ruled out - and the reasons why. Happy to be mistaken:
Laverna looks alright but it doesn't support WebDav, and I didn't find a straight forward way to sync it via, for instance, a "database" file or similar.
Tagspaces can be synced just by syncing folders but saves the tags in the filenames (not sure I can think of any scenario in which that would be acceptable). The PRO version saves the tags in "sidecar" files, but the functionality is marked as beta and the PRO version is more expensive than Evernote - it means paying quite a bit for less functionalities (even though the idea behind tagspaces looks quite unique) and hoping that it works.
OpenNote and PaperWork projects seem not very mature or active either.
I don't seem to find any other good tool out there - whether paid or not.
Thanks
You can use ownCloud with ownCloud Notes (https://github.com/owncloud/notes) in the web, it uses WebDAV for syncing. And it integrates with QOwnNotes (http://www.qownnotes.org/) on the desktop. There also is an iOS and Android app that talks to ownCloud Notes.

How do I use HP's UFT with Eclipse's EMF Client Platform?

I have an existing software system in pure Java (1.8, currently 32 bit), using Eclipse's EMF Client Platform. Some modules are opened in normal web browsers like IE, Chrome etc. while others are loaded into an Eclipse client as Eclipse plugins. We're using Eclipse Mars.
We're looking to automate our testing with HP's UFT, so we're trying it out for the first time with a freshly downloaded trial version. We easily figured out how to use UFT with modules that are opened in a web browser from a tutorial I found online.
However, we're unable to say the same for the part of the system opened in the Eclipse client. My PM did a little preliminary research and some say there are compatibility issues. Right now I'm investigating this in-depth with the objective to get it working if possible. I Google'd with the terms UFT, Eclipse plugin, and/or EMF Client Platform without useful result.
As someone using this tool for the first time, I'm looking for help from those with experience in the community. Do you know any tutorial, documentation, any material that can assist me, whether to solve the problem outright or at least to help me understand the relevant parts of the UFT tool?
I understand LeanFT is installed with UFT, so I am open to using it as an alternative. Thanks!

ColdFusion - I'm not familiar with this application

My boss passed away suddenly, leaving behind little in notes and information and didn't share much with me while I worked with him. He'd been here for 29 years and so took a lot of information with him.
One of the items he had here is a ColdFusion server v9 and a lot of apps that he had written that our users rely on. He loved to write code, 5 different languages I've found so far, me not so much, I know a little. My question is......to keep his apps going ,until I can find replacements for them, is there a web content editing software to go with a ColdFusion server or am I just going to have to pull the plug on his apps when they break?
I found an Adobe Flex Builder 2 CD and an Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Standard CD. Of any value to me? Looks like they are old versions. With 250 users and equipment, network, etc to take care of I'm a little busy. Any information on this is greatly appreciated.
CFML code (.cfm, and .cfc files) can be edited in any text editor including Notepad. Adobe has an official IDE called ColdFusion Builder. A lot of developers simply use Sublime Text or even Dreamweaver.
CFML is compiled by a just-in-time compiler so you just need to edit the code and then you can refresh the page. If you don't have a dev server, you can install CF locally with a copy of the code on your PC.
I would recommend your company hire someone (or another company) with experience in CF to help you manage the code.
I suggest brackets.io. It has a coldfusion plugin so does code hinting. this is extremely helpful if you don't have too much knowledge of the language.
I'm using Flash Builder 4.6 for Coldfusion 9,10 and Flex MX . If I'm not wrong, you will be needing it to develop Flex/Coldfusion solutions. So your Adobe Flex Builder 2 CD might be handy if you have to support those kind of applications.

Are there any .NET content management systems that focus on usability and leave out the bloat?

I work in a shop that is mostly .NET based, and we're trying to pick out a content management system to use. This means we mostly likely won't be able to use any of the common open source CMS projects (Plone, phpNuke, anthing not based on .NET, etc.).
Since I'm a huge usability nerd (just finished reading The Design of Everyday Things by Norman), I've been looking at them from that point of view. Frankly, I haven't been too impressed. This quote sums it up:
Most open source content management software is useless. The only thing worse is every commercial CMS I’ve used. - Jeffrey Veen
Here's a short list of our requirements:
Has to be .NET based
Prefer open source or on the inexpensive side
Limited feature set (we don't need too many features and they make things harder to use)
Does need Active Directory integration and robust permissions
Should be focused on web standards and usability
I know it's probably an impossible feature list, but are there any content management systems that kinda sorta look like they might not suck more than a Dyson?
Edit:
Here's the current situation:
I'm going to push for N2. I've got Active Directory integration working well (I even wrote a custom role provider). The only thing missing is workflow functionality. Hopefully I can get something going with that since it's the last sticking point. The N2Contrib project might provide a starting point if I can figure it out.
I would still love to check out Stencil CMS if/when it gets off the ground.
One of my co-workers was trying to get Umbraco going but wasn't having much luck.
Thanks for the help!
Self-plug is lame, but what you're describing is pretty much exactly what I am getting ready to release for $79 a pop. If you're still looking in a few weeks, take a peek. If you'd like, shoot me an email (rex#stencilcms.com).
I've heard both positive and negative feedback about Umbraco. A lot of people like Graffiti, but it's more blog-oriented than a full-blown CMS.
Check out N2 (http://n2cms.com/). I think that it covers most, if not all, of your requirements (I don't think it has Active Directory capability at this time). We are using N2 and I have really enjoyed how flexible it has been.
My company just completed a review of several commercial .NET-based CMS/portal platforms and, while I can't reveal who was in them (thanks, NDAs!), I can tell you that IMO they all sucked very, very badly.
Good luck on your search. I'll keep an eye on this thread in the hopes that there's something we missed.
We had a similar set of requirements and chose Telerik Sitefinity. It's got it's faults but overall I've been happy with it so far.
Unfortunately Jeffery speaks the truth. Which is probably why I build a new custom cms from the ground up every few years. Basically, the motivation for "boxed" CMS packages is to have every feature on earth and be everything to everyone and therefore do nothing particularly well for anyone. With the feature bloat comes the usability nightmares. Unless you start customizing and then you usually end up forking the project and losing the advantage of community updates.
Kentico CMS according your list:
Has to be .NET based
It's .net based, .NET Framework 2.0 or later
Prefer open source or on the inexpensive side
Free edition which can be used for commercial purposes is available, paid license starts at $750, source code is an option
Limited feature set (we don't need too many features and they make things harder to use)
Many built-in modules/features, anyway they can be easily disabled to keep the UI simple to use
Does need Active Directory integration and robust permissions
AD, Forms and Live Id! Integration
Should be focused on web standards and usability
UTF-8 Support including RTL languages, WAI Compliant, XHTML Compliant, XML, XHTML, HTML, XSLT, CSS.

Are There Any Good ASP.NET Stock Photo Apps?

I'm looking at collating mine and a few friends photos on our own stock photo site.. To save me some time I was wondering if anyone knew of a good stock photo app built in ASP.NET??
I have googled and not come up with much.. Looking for the ability for people to be able to buy from the site and the images watermarked so people can't steal them :)
Gallery Source Pro is an open source app that might be worth looking into. I played around with the compiled version briefly, but I had major issues using the open source code application on a 64-bit top-bottom machine and gave up. It does seem fairly flexible and I believe it can watermark images.
Phanfare is built in .NET, but they are a commercial outfit. There is a public API available, so you may get some joy....
