1.5 Edit more of it

Broaden Rendered editing without hiding or normalizing source.

After 1.0. Version numbers mark the intended order, not dates or paid upgrades; scope is provisional and may change with evidence and demand. Checked against the development repository on 15 October 2026.

In short

If 1.4 proves that rendered editing keeps the source faithful, 1.5 widens it: lists and quotes first, then code and tables where that’s safe, with better mapping of selections and the caret between the two views.

In practice

Reorder items in a rendered list, and only those lines change in the source.

Why it isn’t simple

  • Lists and quotes nest. Indenting, merging or splitting an item can change markers and indentation across several lines, and a different indent can mean a different structure entirely.
  • Code and tables are unforgiving. A code block has to keep every character exactly, and a table edit has to keep the rows consistent. That’s why they come only where it’s safe, after 1.4 proves the approach.

What it won’t do

  • The source is never hidden or normalised.
  • It expands only after 1.4 proves the edits are faithful.
