When developing more high-end editors like dreamweaver you normally write your own format for files for your program to read from what I have been gathering around the net. But I have a couple questions. How would you deal with file changes? Each time the file was loaded would you have to re-parse the file everytime? Are there best-practice articles out there? I would love to read articles from people who have made their own wysiwyg editors that tackled this problem. Did they use the microsoft mshtml editor and customized that or did they use other sophisticated means?

Hi guys,
When developing more high-end editors like dreamweaver you normally write your own format for files for your program to read from what I have been gathering around the net. But I have a couple questions. How would you deal with file changes? Each time the file was loaded would you have to re-parse the file everytime? Are there best-practice articles out there? I would love to read articles from people who have made their own wysiwyg editors that tackled this problem. Did they use the microsoft mshtml editor and customized that or did they use other sophisticated means?
Thanks everyone! :)
