----------------------------------------------------------------
I am wondering if HTML is the API. Or is HTML an expression of a document View
Model.
The first question that comes to mind is whether or not a complete HTML is
produced from a given persistent document-file format (OOXML, ODF, TeX, ePub,
etc.).
One could do that, and presumably it could be viewed and navigated, searched,
etc., using a browser as-is.
But then there's pagination, navigation over links, zooming, and some sort of
framing in a rich-editor. And as rich-editing happens, there is reflow and so
on. I
There is interaction with the view model (i.e., underlying HTML in some form)
to accomplish all of this.
I speculate that this manipulatable and interactive presentation might be
hosted in a browser or some browser-similar UI, and while HTML is involved, it
is a bit more like a data stream to a GUI? (This is an awkward analogy, for
sure.)
I think the key question is whether or not the HTML is produced wholesale and
then manipulated. Next I wonder, how whatever model is constructed for that,
delivery into a view model can be broken down to one that is not so uncoupled
from the underlying "native" document file and whatever model is erected above
that.
