Message-ID: <eb4c043d33a075b721ec0ea72e4199e2@vitanuova.com> (raw)
what did the Oberon system do with tabs, out
of interest? i'd check its source but
i can't find my copy. i recall (perhaps wrongly)
it using proportional typefaces.
actually, it's also slightly relevant
to presotto's comment about fancy editors,
because Oberon did store its program text
as a form of structured Text.
not as big, bulky and complex as XML, which
it preceded by many years, and it
worked quite well, with some mildly useful things you
could do with it, so obviously THAT had to go ...
