text properties

[holtzermann17]

Marking a string or block of text with a certain "property". Obvious examples exist, like underlining and italics, and user-specific colors, all exist. Some generalizations would be colorful underlining (a la MS Word). Highlighting a passage and put a comment in the margin is a more advanced version.

I imagine the whole attribute system could be made more modular?

Marking this as "high priority" because many UI things (e.g. tables) would build on top of this.

There is now a basic implementation of this in redhog/pad. Check it out and comment on the API here!

Since no one seems to bother, I'm just gonna close this now...
