External Client Editor

It can often be convenient to use an external editor to write new WeBWorK questions rather than to work through the web browser interface. To do this your local editor calls the script renderProblem.pl which sends the current contents of the editor off to a WeBWorK server for processing and then displays the resulting rendered problem in a browser. The question is "live" so you can enter responses and see whether they are graded correctly. The text of the new question remains on your desktop or laptop.
