Nice work! Very slick stuff. > Internally, I've removed the use of URLs to bind pages together, > replacing them with registered PluckerDocument ids.

What would you like for the best way for the Desktop editor to put in the symbols with the new UNICODE_CHAR support? Currently, the strategy is a small "Insert Symbol" dialog that has an HTML window showing only a single hyperlinked picture. The picture is in CVS (direct link is:) http://cvs.plkr.org/index.cgi/plucker_desktop/resource/graphics_dialog/symbo l_dialog_symbols.png?rev=1.2&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup The mouse changes into a hand over the image, but when clicked, instead of going to a new page, it gets the x,y of the position clicked and looks up a code, and this string is put into an edit box for a preview. Pressing OK then inserts it onto the page. (A double click on the symbol, I suppose should insert and close). Don't know much about Unicode still. An image was used so that it renders on all Desktops without worrying about character sets, but it seems somewhat limiting. This dialog is one of the last ones on the TODO as it still needs to be modified for whatever desired behaviour should be. What do you think would be the best UI as a gateway to the new UNICODE_CHAR feature for people writing pages? Best wishes, Robert
