In our small world, online editors mean "an editor interface you
access via the mud". Which means we have to limit ourself to a text
interface, somewhere in the 24x80 screen size. Online editors mean,
roughly, Oasis or Obuild (or some derivation of the same).
Technically, an offline editor that also connects to a mud and
updates things in real time could be called an online editor - however to
do so would only confuse people, and serve no purpose. I'm a simple
person, and I usually don't bother with semantics without a good reason.
Confusing people isn't a good reason.
So, it's an offline editor, optionally with real time updating.
