Résumé du livre
Language-based editing systems allow users to create, browse, and modify structured documents (programs in particular) in terms of the formal languages in which they are written. Many such systems have been built, but despite steady refinement of the supporting technology few programmers use them today. In this dissertation it is argued that realizing the potential of these systems demands a user- centered approach to their design and construction. Pan, a fully- implemented experimental language-based editing and browsing system, demonstrates the viability of the approach.
