WebOutput

This module provides simple utility functions useful to present web content to the user via their default browser, creating temporary files. Use toTheBrowser in order to simply show some markup (HTML) to the user, and use manyToTheBrowser with an array of Resource in order to show a page linking to multiple files, for example a page linking to a local style file and a local Javascript file
