It is not useful if you can not get the displaying app to update incrementally, of course. And that was a problem with the interface I used between Emacs and Firefox. --047d7bb03e78d03a5e04eb9f9436 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Yes it's feasible. I can have a look, because it could be an inte= resting
demonstration of the Emacs Xwidget branch as well.

Here is how the similar idea works in Inkmacs(Emacs + Inkskape):

- Write your text in an org-mode file
- Let Emacs start an Inkskape instance
- Emacs communicates with Inkskape using a DBus channel
- Emacs sends dbus commands to update text objects in Inkskape. Inkskape immediately redraws its display when it receives the dbus commands
