Source Code Overlay Editor

Abstract

The concept of operations for a new type of editor is described. The source code overlay editor (SCOE) allows a user to improve computer source artifacts by providing links, replacement text, and the means to show or hide design and implementation details by traversing links and causing text substitutions based on replacement. Among other things these capabilities give the author/reader an ability to use hyperlinked replacement text substitutions to hide or reveal either source code or abstractions of source code as is most appropriate for the reader's current context (level of understanding and purpose).
