Dear Kim,

As you may know, revolution runs in standalone format. You can use  
the engine to execute cgi script as well, but cgi are made of text  
only. I doubt this is what you are after.

There:
<http://revolution.lexicall.org/stacks_education.php>
You will find right under the "tools and plugins" title, reference to  
a stack "HTML exporter" that exports the content of a stack, media  
included, to HTML format. (In fact, it exports to HTML, with the  
format - position and color - saved into a css file).

If you need something more complex, I know of a member of the  
metacard community (same engine, but IDE free to modify) that is  
doing exactly this, exporting to a LMS system. There was also a  
rumour that a Swiss (?) University had used revolution to manage  
their University-wide web content, again using metacard. For more  
details on these, best is to repost your question on their mailing  
list. http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

Best wishes,
Marielle
