I have also run into this problem with slide show on 1.8.2. I was able to get text to display (sometimes) if I typed it in directly, but copy/paste would never display except in edit mode. However once I turned slide show off, everything shows up in preview mode.

I can confirm the same situation exists with Moodle 1.9.4.

I run into the same problem with Moodle 1.9.1; 1.9.3 should be the same.

Content for non-slideshow-pages is rendered in mod/lesson/view.php line 539 (Moodle 1.9.1): format_text($page->contents, FORMAT_MOODLE, $options).
For slideshow content-pages with answers are rendered in line 734: echo '<div class="contents">'.format_text($page->contents, FORMAT_MOODLE, $options)."</div>\n";

As workaround I have added following lines after line 765 (// a page without answers - find the next (logical) page:

if ($lesson->slideshow) { $options = new stdClass; $options->noclean = true; echo '<div class="contents">'.format_text($page->contents, FORMAT_MOODLE, $options)."</div>\n"; echo '</div><!--end slideshow div-->'; }

I'm using 1.9.6 now, and this is still a problem.

As this has been designated a major problem (since version 1.8.2) it would be great if a developer could take a look and resolve - maybe with a temporary patch until Moodle 2.1

From reading the official Roadmap it doesn't look like there is a new version of this module for Moodle 2.0.

It is therefore not great to have a section in the Lesson area of Moodle Docs which tells people about the Slide Show when we know it doesn't work, and hasn't for a long time.

Perhaps this section should have a note about this functionality not working until it is resolved?

Thanks, Stuart.

Reassigning this to moodle.com for the time being, since Mark Nielsen is not maintaining Lesson any more. Please comment/vote/patch any crucial bugs that affect you for 2.0 to help us prioritise fixes for the upcoming release.

The slide show option still does not appear to be working for 2.2
I think this is still worth pursuing and having it repaired.
