Styled text support
The editable text data representation classes--including TTextModel, TSimpleTextStore, and the text control classes--use TStandardText as the underlying text storage mechanism. This mechanism automatically enables any text element to contain multilingual, fully styled text. You or the end user can:
- Include any combination of characters supported by Unicode in a single text element.
- Apply any combination of character styles to any portion of the encapsulated text.
- Apply paragraph styles to paragraphs or groups of paragraphs within the encapsulated text (a paragraph is defined as a sequence of characters delineated by the paragraph separator character).
The Text Editing framework classes provide interfaces for entering and modifying the character and style information in the encapsulated text. These interfaces are based on the basic text interfaces described in Chapter 3, "Basic text classes." If you want to directly manipulate the encapsulated text or create your own text storage mechanism, read the information on basic text and style classes in Chapter 3.
