Hello. Thank you for texamator. It is very helpful for my job(I teach mathematics). I would like to ask you if it is possible to install texamator on a web server and run it remotely. Thank you in advance. Manos

Hi, Sorry for not answering sooner, I didn't get the notification. Short answer : no. Installing it on a remote server would mean a lot of tweaking : the UI is made with Qt, it's not meant to be rendered as an html page.

I have asked myself the same question a while ago, and almost went for a complete rewrite to create a TeXamator web app. The only way this would be worth it would be with an open database : everyone would be able to access all the exercises. The problem would then be about copyrights... And offering one database per user wouldn't make sense in my opinion.

Alexis.
