Abstract

Several attempts have been made for making TEX more user-friendly by providing specific tools for preview or input of documents. We propose a different approach which uses an interactive system for editing the documents intended to be formatted by TEX. This system, Grif, is based on a structured model of documents and allows the user to define the structure and presentation of documents edited. We present how it may be used for efficiently preparing documents to be printed by TEX.
