I've delved somewhat into the classes in Squeak 2.0 Beta that support rich text editing and formatting and I find them quite intriguing. Comparing them to the Swing Set classes in Java for the same general purpose, they seem quite robust, though they fall short at the document level (unless I'm missing something in Squeak, which is certainly possible).
I'm trying to compare the two environments in terms of their suitability for writing a net-based word processor. Are there any example applications out there that point the way and perhaps do a better job of explaining the classes that would support such an effort in Squeak?
