Technically, you are right if you develop a new editor GUI based on XXE's StyledDocumentView component (this is documented). Trying to do this with the XXE app itself is probably not possible, and even if it is possible, would not be as user friendly as a dedicated editor. One problem is that XXE is not OpenSource (but we are pretty open-minded). > Are you guys at XXE interested in writing this? We are a small company with few resources in terms of software engineers, and of course, we are all desperately late in our development schedules :-) > If not, maybe someone else on this list? > > I've discussed this a little further here: > http://shorter.net/cameron/goals.html#requirementstracing
