If I create a document based XCode project, can it be coded to
open new documents as tabs in a single window instead of one

information on this. All the information & sample code has each
new document opened in a new window.
The entire document architecture is designed around one document per-
window. Having multiple documents within a window is possible, but
it's a pretty big pain if you want certain behaviors - you'll be
fighting the document architecture all the way. I fought it and
having everything working, but it was really quite tough, and I
wonder if there was even any benefit to it at all. Looking back, I
probably could have implemented my own document architecture from
scratch in the same amount or only a bit more time.
If you're going to [ab]use the document architecture already in
Cocoa, the basic premise is to have your document's window controller
maintain a list of documents attached to that window, and then which
ever one should be the current document in the window, call
setDocument: on the window controller.
