They insert the cursor and try to close a tag. There is no way to know the context without parsing from the top in real-time. Plus, you need to deal with documents that are not well-formed so you can't use a regular XML parser. I don't mean to say it is rocket science, just that it certainly isn't as easy as it seems at first. > I mean if Office XP can get away with all the parsing and stuff it does for > Smart Tags and spell/grammar checking, etc. I don't see why a much simpler > task like keeping track of open XML tags would be deemed as hard to implement > efficiently. The sorts of things that Word does are not really comparable. The spell and grammar checking can lag by several seconds. Plus the state is entirely local. I think your machine date is wrong.
