I am not certain, but I am pretty sure that the Leo 'outlining' editor (written in Python) allows you to do just that, via its 'viewrendered' plugin. Leo is an extremely capable editor which can work in a 'scripts + data' manner; you can write 'code as data' and intersperse this with Python code which acts on the data. FWIW this brief description barely begins to scratch the surface.... Leo is cross-platform and open source; its main developer, Ed Ream, is very responsive to suggestions and feedback http://leoeditor.com/ There is also a 'leo-editor' Google Groups HTH Jon N -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
