Re: Source view editing bug, 10.0.x & 10.1.PRE.2

Hi Eddie,

    Editing source is convenient when you want to do quick changes or 
write some code not allowed yet by the Amaya's authoring environment 
(complex copy & paste, SVG animations...). Nevertheless, source 
authoring is not the main purpose of Amaya and you may find many 
complementary tools that do the things better ( 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_code_editor ). The philosophy is 
rather to propose a structured XML editor throughout a WYSIWYG 
interface. The ability of Amaya to preserve a valid structure is only 
one of the consequence of the  (necessary) work at this higher level.
