The typeset document should only be the output of a rendering/compilation step, of a document that exists in plain text. Usually that is the case. Why would one throw away the source once the typeset document is created? One would then simply edit the source, just like we do with other code that runs. > > You can't work with it, you can't try to make changes to it to see what happens, and you certainly can't run it interactively. Yes you can. Just normal compile cycle. What am I missing here?
