The goal is in sight… literally.

A few days ago, I checked in another viewing extension to Verbosio, one that shows you what the document would really look like. It’s not editable yet – it’s just an iframe – but at least now you can see what your changes do to your document. (No screenshots yet – what’s so pretty about an iframe?)

It also means I’m finally done writing mostly component code and now I can get back to writing mostly chrome code. I can finally make Verbosio into an editing application instead of a clunky DOM Inspector clone. 🙂

I’m working now on integrating my markup template system with the visual rendering. Just this evening I landed sample code from the experimental branch to mark a starting point. I’m also beginning to figure out a little more clearly what Verbosio and its extensions need from each other.

Already I’m thinking about a Verbosio 0.1 alpha 1 release in the near future (read: within a few weeks). I will have a very tough time deciding what makes 0.1a1 and what should come later, though.

The changelog since March 7, 2007 is in the extended entry.
