LON-CAPA Help

The full power of Perl is well outside the scope of this document. Looking in the function list at can give you some ideas. O'Reilly has some good Perl books. The Perl 5 Pocket Reference will contain more than what you need to know to use LON-CAPA, available at
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/perlpr3/ .

If you have any problems, consult http://help.loncapa.org/fom/cache/5.html . If you don't find the answer to your problem, please help us expand the FAQ by submitting a new pending question.

Our advanced users often come to prefer the XML interface for the problems, available through the EditXML buttons. Covering the XML format is beyond the scope of this manual, but you can learn a lot by using the editor to make changes and seeing what happens to the XML.
