[09:17am] epitron: side-by-side markup/rendered-html
[09:17am] locriani: instead of a page Sandbox in User:Briess
[09:17am] epitron: you click "preview" and it re-renders it
[09:17am] locriani: eyah
[09:17am] locriani: well
[09:18am] epitron: and if you scroll, it scrolls both windows in synch
[09:18am] locriani: we were thinking JS on t
[09:18am] locriani: ooh
[09:18am] epitron: like the way MELD does
[09:18am] locriani: that's good
[09:18am] locriani: yeah
[09:18am] epitron: the preview will scroll a lot less sometimes
[09:18am] locriani: and the cursor position in the markup window
[09:18am] locriani: or in the html window
[09:18am] epitron: like for your version number table monstrousity
[09:18am] epitron: yeah!
[09:18am] epitron: cursor position would be harder
[09:18am] locriani: will highlight the appropriate element in the other window
[09:18am] epitron: but it would be slick
