Editing Multiple-document interface (section)

===Advantages===
* With multiple-document interfaces (and also [[tabbed document interface]]s), a single menu bar and/or [[toolbar]] is shared between all child windows, reducing clutter and increasing efficient use of screen space. This argument is less relevant on an operating system which uses a common menu bar.
* An application's child windows can be hidden/shown/minimized/maximized as a whole.
* Features such as "Tile" and "Cascade" can be implemented for the child windows.
* Authors of cross-platform applications can provide their users with consistent application behaviour between platforms.
* If the windowing environment and OS lack good window management, the application author can implement it themselves.
* Modularity: An advanced window manager can be upgraded independently of the applications.
