I actually implemented something similar in a private 'leoapp' (app that lives in a .leo file) I wrote for myself a few years back. Pretty simple to get done, IIRC.
My general pattern was to have a controller class that contained two 'view' widgets (a QTextBrowser for rendered HTML, and a QTextEdit for editing). The controller class had a wrapper widget that also had an 'edit' toggle button. When 'edit' is clicked, a callback is fired off to remove the active view widget and replace it with the new one (and set some state in the controller so it doesn't lose track of things). Content is updated between the two widgets whenever this swap happens. Internally they are two completely different objects, but to the user, the swap is fairly seamless. I did write this app relying on PyQt5, unfortunately, so I have a fair bit of updating to do if I want it to work on modern Leo. Ah well. Jake On Thu, Apr 25, 2024 at 8:10 AM Edward K.
