\n \t\tAdded tags.
\n \t\tAdded description.
\n \t\tAdded information about Show steps. Altered to 0 marks lost rather than 1.
\n \t\tChanged std rule set to include !noLeadingMinus, so polynomials don't change order. Got rid of a redundant ruleset.
\n \t\tImproved display in various places.
\n \t\tAdded condition that numbers input as fractions or integers, so added decimal point ot forbidden strings.
