Just a web page edit field to type into. So, I have everything in Markdown on Github, and I link to that with Moodle URL type lessons. I'd love more support for Moodle in other software, since a folder of files is tons easier than tons of web pages. I'm not a programmer, but I can manage to use Emacs and the command line.
