Andrew,
In last night's discussion I got a bit derailed about RefWindow
caching.
(A RefWindow (referential window) is a zz cell that looks
into a document stored as a file outside ZZ. We've been
calling it a Referential Cell, but I think RefWindow says it
better.)
A RefWindow is defined as a frame which knows its height,
width, and *where in the document it points to*.
We'll be wanting it to scroll. So what needs to be cached
is generally the whole document, not just what appears in
the window.
(Note: scrolling is being defined for our TPX generator,
but in general it shd work with other windows as well,
such as WordPad.)
(For funny-formated doxx, like HTML and Word, I favor
parsing into our own better-generalized parallel format).
ChrzT
