How about source-code in a kword document? Say I want to quote kword.cc
(whatevver) in a university assignment?
OR
I'm writing a paper on internet culture, quoting text files that I'd rather
keep in monospaced, variable-spaced characters (aka ASCII art)
OR
I need to transfer an ASCII chart from a txt file to kword. I'll just cut and
paste the text, and draw the table over it.
OR
....
----
Point is, ASCII files are omnipresent in UNIX (config, source, scripts,
EVERYTHING that's not an executable or shared lib is most probably a text
file)...
Expect to be surprised by what would be wanted by your users =)
I think actually the 'best' way to implement this would be using an embedded
micro-kpart, which would allow, for example, highlighting the said
source-code (well, kwrite can do it, why not use it?), or whatever I feel
like doing with my documents.
