There are three main kinds of objects for buffer management in <TeXmacs>:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<\description>
|
|
|
|
|
<item*|Buffers>Every open <TeXmacs> document is stored in a unique
|
|
|
|
|
editable buffer. Buffers typically admit a<nbsp>one to one correspondence
|
|
|
|
|
to files on disk or elsewhere on the web. Some buffers are of a<nbsp>more
|
|
|
|
|
auxiliary nature, such as automatically generated help buffers. All
|
|
|
|
|
buffers admit a unique URL. In the case of auxiliary buffers, this URL is
|
|
|
|
|
really a read-only ``placeholder'', so saving this kind of buffers is
|
|
|
|
|
impossible (of course, it remains possible to save the buffer under a new
|
|
|
|
|
name).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<item*|Views>It is possible to have multiple views on the same buffer.
|
|
|
|
|
Every view is identified by a<nbsp>unique automatically generated URL,
|
|
|
|
|
which again acts as a placeholder.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<item*|Windows>Views (contrary to the buffers themselves) can be
|
|
|
|
|
displayed in actual windows. Currently, any <TeXmacs> window contains a
|
|
|
|
|
unique view and a view may only be displayed in one window at the same
|
|
|
|
|
time (of course, it is possible to display different views on the same
|
|
|
|
|
buffer in different windows). Windows are again represented by
|
|
|
|
|
automatically generated<nbsp>URLS.

|
|
|
|
|
In the future, views and windows should really be considered as documents
|
|
|
|
|
themselves. Changes in the view will be automatically propagated (or not)
|
|
|
|
|
to the corresponding buffer, and the other views. Windows will contain a
|
|
|
|
|
document which specifies its layout (menus and toolbars). The
|
|
|
|
|
corresponding view (or views) will be an active hyperlink (or active
|
|
|
|
|
hyperlinks). The current APIs already reflect these future development
|
|
|
|
|
intentions.
