Publishing online

The engine itself is purely offline but there are several community conversions.

excelenter's Haxe solution compiles into a Flash game, epoxa's gives you a server-side game, or there is an Emscripten approach for a regular downloadable JavaScript game page, though note that it's not the best utilising the browser capabilities and may have some performance issues.
