Interesting, and it's good to see someone

do people really think lee's system is "interesting"? unless i'm missing something, it's just a mockup? it doesn't actually save the text, not that i can see. and the reg-ex cleanup doesn't really work, does it?

Interesting, and it's good to see someone using a rich text editor for the text, rather than expecting proofers to mess around with <i>, etc.

except there is a tremendous conundrum at work... because we don't want proofers to go "presentational", do we? we want them to make structural distinctions... but with all those presentational w.y.s.i.w.y.g. buttons littering the interface, how would proofers ignore them?

I'm using a widescreen 1680x1050 monitor, and there was still material off the bottom of the page. This is using Google Chrome.

i had similar problems in safari. camino worked fine.

It would be nice to have (the option of) a horizontal rather than vertical layout. I used to really like the vertical layout, but found I was more accurate at proofing with a horizontal one.

i don't understand the appeal of a horizontal interface -- way too much scrolling for me! -- but lots of people seem to prefer it.

I really prefer block paragraphs rather than indented ones for computer-based text.

but you want the display to look like the p-book, not? -bowerbird
