Abstract
This chapter furnishes practical advice to prospective editor-designers about a range of topics. Section 8.1 gives recommendations about the steps a novice editor-designer should take when starting to develop a new editor. Section 8.2 discusses how to organize an editor specification in a modular fashion to make it easier to re-use editor specifications. Section 8.3 contains two case studies of commonly arising editor features: the first concerns the facilities in a programming-language editor for writing comments in programs; the second concerns error messages.
