Case Study, Chapter 2
Chapter 2 is a step-by-step case study on "the design of a 'What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get' (or 'WYSIWYG') document editor called Lexi." (pp33)
The chapter goes through seven problems that must be addressed in order to properly design Lexi, including any constraints that must be followed. Each problem is analyzed in-depth, and solutions are proposed. Each solution is explained in full, including pseudo-code and a slightly modified version of Object Modeling Technique where appropriate.
Finally, each solution is associated directly with one or more design patterns. It is shown how the solution is a direct implementation of that design pattern.
The seven problems (including their constraints) and their solutions (including the pattern(s) referenced), are as follows:

Has lasted the rest of my life.””
