This commit implements the .tex-based online help system in LON-CAPA. It
may be necessary to manually run loncom/build/help_graphics_converter.pl
and doc/help/rebuildLabelHash.pl after a cvs update, and
loncapa_apache.conf may need to be manually copied to /etc. (The
loncapafiles.lpml has been updated.)
After merging this, the URL http://[loncapahost]/adm/help/Foils.hlp
should display a help file.
Also, some *very* out-of-date files have been removed from the /doc
directory.
The full power of Perl is well outside the scope of this document. Looking
in the function list at \\
http://mileva.lite.msu.edu/loncapadocs/homework/homework5.html \\
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/ .

Our advanced users often come to prefer the XML interface for the problems,
available through the \textbf{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.
