Pharo / Rubric

Rubric consists in a deep refactoring of the Pharo text editor.

The goals are to:

• clean the code
• improve performance for big texts
• facilitate extensions.

Rubric may be interesting for you if:

• you want to load/edit very large texts now
• you want a real pluggable editor - Rubric makes an heavy use of announcements
• you want to benefit from existing rulers: line number, annotation, wrapping/no wrapping switch, ...
• you want to manipulate segments of text - with Rubric you can use text segments and have associated icons and menu managed in a vertical ruler.

Rubric comes with a lot of examples. Don't hesitate to have a look and to send feedbacks.

Note: A completely new text model is under implementation (see TxText project). So far, Rubric does not use this new text model. But in the future, we plan to adapt Rubric to it.
