Text documents (MIME type text/plain) may be
edited directly on the BSCW server without restrictions. The text editor
used, however, is a simple text box where the contents of the document are
displayed and may be edited. By hitting [OK], the edited document replaces the
existing one or creates a new version if the document is under version control.
In addition to plain text documents, direct editing is also
possible for other types of text documents, e.g. for XML documents
(MIME type text/xml). Because of the primitive nature of the
editing method, direct editing of text documents is only recommended for rather
short documents.
