Richard,
Thanks for the love!
Yes, Transcript Gadget (which houses an imported xscript dictionary) is
"hooked up" to Rev script editor or Constellation script editor. RIght
click (control-click) on a xscript word in a scrpt and Transcript
Gadget looks it up - OR - right click (control click) on a call to one
of your handlers and Transcript Gadget finds the handler WHEREVER it
might dwell and open it up in a script editor. This is the one gadget
that keeps me from going insane trying to find a handler and figuring
out what it does.
If it will help the revDocWiki project, i can get the docs parsing code
to whomever needs it. If we need it hooked up to a script editor (as
mentioned above) perhaps we have an extension to Transcript Gadget?
Just in town for supplies...

My pleasure. And thanks for the thoughtful mention.
I'm a big fan of both XML and the Rev object model, and I'm rather
addicted to the Dictionary. My revised Dictionary shell attempts to
deliver the best of both worlds:
XML is a great format for authoring, as it allows the individual
topics to be moved from team member to team member for authoring and
review. But as we've seen, indexing and parsing them on the fly is,
well, suboptimal. :)
It's hard to beat Rev's native object model for efficiently traversing
a body of work like this. Even with nearly 1500 entries the
mcDictionary loads about as quickly as the XML-based one that ships
with Rev, but is significantly faster for moving document-to-document,
since you're only going card-to-card rather than loading files from
disk and parsing XML CDATA on the fly.
Jerry's done a wonderful job extending the mcDictionary stack, adding
a lot of geat new functionality and a nifty Rossi-esque look.
Since it only takes less than a minute to import the data into the
stack, I hope one day we can see that incorporated into Rev's
automated build process and have it shipped with the product. Jerry's
is certainly worthy.
