Lilac is an experimental document preparation system which combines the best features of batch-style document formatters and WYSIWYG editors. To do this it offers the user two views of the document: a WYSIWYG view and a formatter-like source view. Changes in either view are rapidly propagated to the other. This report describes both the user interface design and the implementation mechanisms used to build Lilac.
