There were not that many editors those days, and it was also a nice exercise in programming and interfacing [quite symetrical key binding so getting people started is easy]. Since it was all library based, the core editing engine was also used for special purpose programs [like our pet-project of those days: controling a heavy duty mechanical milling machine [a thing that cuts shapes from wood or plastic; built by an inventor-friend of mine] where we needed to interface the editor to a parser, numeric control, etc. Actually, we also made a computer assisted learning environment around it, which was a nice lesson in parsing, 'poor mans compiling', byte code handling, etc; this thread i will some day pick up and bring into ConTeXt. We could make nice simulations in it, do a bit of answer analysis, etc.] The advantage of texedit is that i can pretty quickly browse/access files as well as that texedit knows about the context file project structure. Of course there is (partial) running, based on config files, etc. etc. Since the core engine is rather fast, we could even implement realtime syntax highlighting, real time color based spell checking, etc on the 16mhz 386 4meg mem machines that we used for long. That was the time that i spat our more modula-2 code than tex code and i must admit that i haven't touched the modula code since years, since perl is rather well suited for many text jobs [but the code looks ugly]] Now, since i want to be able to run on windows as well as linux, i made texwork, i.e. a perl/tk based counterpart of texedit. Although it has some more features, it's not yet fully tested and finished. In due time, texwork [and for most users probably more interesting texform] will be available in the distribution. I must admit that i'm not in that much hurry, since the combinations texedit + fptex + gsview + acrobat works quite well on windows. So, that's the picture, Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Also, You mention TeXwork as a Perl/Tk editor, but the cont-wrk.zip file available at the site seems to only have ConTeXt support modules for TeXwork. Is the editor available somewhere? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
