CodeMirror provides the necessary infrastructure for it. It is used by a Mozilla project to create a shared editor similar to etherpad, etc. That is a bit heavyweight cloud solution. I would like something than only depends on the Prolog server that is doing the work. Capturing the changes from CodeMirror is trivial. I use that now for the server-side enhanced syntax highlighting, where changes keep a mirror at the server consistent and CodeMirror asks for enriched token sequences after it concludes that the current set is no longer in sync with the editor. > But I'm afraid this "one" is not going to be me, at least not now.
