Darrell  Raymond, Dept. of Computer Science, University
of  Waterloo,  will  speak on ``lector:  An Interactive
Formatter for Tagged Text.''

ROOM:                 DC 3307

ABSTRACT

lector is an  X.11 program that provides provides
highly interactive text formatting.  Unlike many
existing text previewers,lector accepts
descriptively marked-up text, permits multiple
views, and interacts well with other programs
(including other invocations of lector). Appropriate
selection  of texts and styles enables lector to act
as text previewer, database browser, code
prettyprinter, or menu utility.  lector's  design
involves an interesting  set of trade-offs in an
attempt to maximize efficiency, simplicity, and
generality, demonstrating the utility of isolating
text display in a single tool.
