I have been assuming that many g-boxes will be static and simply emit the same graph text every time. (So calling them a 'box' might be misleading.) In fact, a text can BE a static box, just as an HTML file can BE a rather boring website. yes, that it *might* or *might not* change, not specifically that it's always liable to, just that you don't know for sure that it won't. that said.. > So what we need, maybe, is some way to *say* that a box is static.

It can even say this itself, in fact. And then we can put a text in it and be sure that it won't evolve on us while we aren't looking. And then we can refer to texts without having to quote them. > > OK, maybe its worth having graph literals as well. I still think this is a useful idea, however. yes, I agree it's a useful idea. nathan
