10.3.3 Editing

If the browser is accessed from localhost, each object that is related to a known source-location has an edit icon at the right side. Clicking this calls edit/1 on the object, calling the user's default editor in the file. To use the built-in PceEmacs editor, either set the Prolog flag editor to pce_emacs or run ?- emacs. before clicking an edit button.

Prolog source-files have a reload button attached. Clicking this reloads the source file if it was modified and refreshes the page. This supports a comfortable edit-view loop to maintain the source-code documentation.
