I'm wondering though, isn't it a bit CPU-intensive > to re-process the entire document with every keystroke? ;-) Sure, which is why it now uses timers to trigger the rendering every few seconds and only if the text really changed. Of course, ideally this would be done in a separate task... > Is the software itself available? I use OS X and I'd like to give it > a try. It's really only a proof of concept, but I've made a little "distri- bution" which is available here: http://python.net/~gherman/tmp/ReSTedit1.jpg http://python.net/~gherman/tmp/ReSTedit.tar.gz BTW, you might also want to check the following which does similar things, but in a different context: http://python.net/~gherman/tmp/RegexPlor1.jpg http://python.net/~gherman/tmp/RegexPlor.tar.gz > Are you aware of Gunnar Schwant's DocFactory? It uses wxPython. > <http://docutils.sf.net/sandbox/gschwant/docfactory/doc/> No, I wasn't - thanks, looks very nice! I'm not sure how well wxPython already works on OS X... I definitely like cross-platform programming, but there are a few things that Cocoa gives me that I just don't want to give away, like the Interface Builder and widgets for displaying PDF, which might be an option for ReSTedit, one day... > [other suggestions skipped] Thanks, I'll be happy to look into this over the next weeks... BTW, if DocFactory works really well on multiple platforms it would be very interesting to build something like Hydra, a student project for a collaborative distributed (even wirelessly) editor which re- cently got an Apple design award: http://hydra.globalse.org Regards, Dinu -- Dinu C.
