Thanks, but, from the above:

"In contrast, it seems that full online compiling of complete LaTeX  
documents is still in its infancy even if I am not yet investigated  
the matter any closer so far. It would be ideal if the maintainers of  
the standard distributions like TeX Live would run web based  
generators on their sites through CGI scripts, and it seems that  
something like this soon could be really available. Definitely online  
LaTeXing is a thing to watch."

Still, I had not even realized it might be possible and it would  
indeed be absolutely the best way to go: These people who want just  
to compile a homework a couple of times a week etc could do it that  
way without fearing to sink into a LaTeX quagmire.

So, now I going to watch for it.

Grateful regards
