What is TexToys?
TexToys is a suite of two authoring
programs, WebRhubarb
and WebSequitur.
The programs are used to create web pages (HTML
documents) which contain interactive language-learning
exercises. The exercises are based on the Rhubarb
and Sequitur programs originally developed by
John and Muriel Higgins.
Once you have created the exercises,
you can deliver them to your students in the form
of web pages. You can also upload them to our
hosting service at hotpotatoes.net.
Although it contains two different
authoring programs, TexToys is downloaded and
installed as a single package - see the download
page for details.
TexToys is shareware, so you
can download and install it free of charge. However,
the download version is restricted - to take full
advantage of all the program and hosting features,
you must register the TexToys package using the
secure online
order form.
 Registering
your copy of TexToys entitles you to one year's
free subscription to our hosting and results server
at www.hotpotatoes.net.
If you choose to store your exercises on this
server, your students can complete the exercises
online, and their scores will be stored on the
server. As the teacher, you can review and download
your students' exercise results. For more information

As well as pages containing
detailed information about each program, we have
also included a full tutorial for both programs
on this site.
