Tobias, that's exactly what my ultimate goal is.   Sometimes I'll write several 
different versions of a scene, or a part of a scene, and I'll have to look back 
and forth between all the different versions I've written, comparing them, 
trying to figure out how I can combine the best parts of each attempt to make 
the final version.

At the *end* of the process, I'll have everything boiled down to one single 
final draft version, but while I'm trying to get to that final version, being 
able to toggle between the different versions would be extremely helpful.

Exactly!  Tabs would be an easy UI element to flip between those alternative 
parts, but another element that did the same thing would also work.

>Tobias.

Headings, probably not.  Lists...  perhaps.  Italics, strong text, wikilinks: 
definitely.  Nested sliders: I would really like these - I use the "floating" 
version to make notes to myself.

Thank you!
