[Sugar-devel] [API proposal] Source editor and widget

[Lucian Branescu]

I'm proposing the addition of a general widget that could be used in
many places(Pippy, View Source, my Browse branch). In fact, it is
partly based on View Source code. I figured it would be a good idea to
not have all this code duplication.


For my project's needs (editing Userstyles and Userscripts), I could
use View Source, but besides being read-only, it also can only open
one document from the activity.
I would want Browse's view source to show the loaded html, one user
stylesheed and a folder of userscripts. Only things in the 'document'
view would be editable, not in the 'bundle' view.
