John. Do you have an example of an XML+UTDML file created as you outline in the architecture? I think that might be very helpful.

Hi Keith, My thought was that I would develop the documentmodel package. The wordprocesdsor could then use it by means of method calls. I don't want to take over the word processor as well, except for UTD.java, which handles UTDML. I agree that an xml editor doesn't need to be part of BrailleBlaster. It just seemed that it might be faster to get one going than the purely WYSISYG word processor, so an editor would be available sooner. The wordprocessor would be developed in parallel. Let's hear from others on the list. John On Thu, Jan 03, 2013 at 12:45:55PM +0000, Keith Creasy wrote: > Yes, I've read the comments in the code and your architecture file.
