------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Nov 8 04:48:12 +0000 2007 ------- Yep, exactly. As I've said before: "If you simply want to replace Word, then you're pretty much there." With this feature you'd probably also gain customer base from the WordPerfect market, smaller but much more demanding - these are usually the guys writing moderate to large documents - not those just looking for a Post-It note writer, or typing one letter every 3 months. If this feature is implemented decently you may even "steal" some of the TeX clientèle. Then if you can get incorporation between Writer, Draw AND RC you may even find that the less demanding PageMaker (or similar) users would start to adopt OOo instead. Yes, well maybe they'd rather go to Scribus. All that said, the 1st step would be to at least reveal the codes. This would make it better than Word (at least in my opinion). Thereafter start implementing something like "Revise" Codes - thus making that code viewer interactive like WP does. You may even find (or invent) something better, but I'd advise starting from WP's RC as a benchmark to aim for. I've come across something that works similarly in a Draw alternative: Inkscape which uses SVG files, allows every single object (line, text, curve, etc.) to be selected and it's SVG code can be opened in a text editor for tweaking. Now given, your user then needs to know how to work with SVG (or in Writer's case XML - similar but different) this might be a step forward. I.e. extract the portion surrounding the current cursor position from the XML file(s). All you then have to do is implement a more user friendly interface. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
