HotDoc is a framework for the development of editors for compound documents. It is implemented in VisualWorks Smalltalk. Due to its object-oriented nature, many restrictions of other systems do not apply to HotDoc. It can be used by developers to implement application-specific editors or user interfaces.HotDoc introduces a new interpretation for the concept of a "document". A HotDoc document is not only a static sequence of text and pictures etc., a HotDoc document is a user interface for applications, which can be combined and placed freely by the user within a document.
This talk demonstrates the system and shows the possibilities of document-based user interfaces. It is presented how to use compound documents for computer supported cooperative work and for WWW- based applications.
