What sort of data structures are generally used for representing text in an
editor or word-processor?  Obviously TextEdit is an alternative, but it's slow
(as far as I've heard) and imposes size restrictions.

Has anyone here done work with writing editors or word-processors?  Could you
give a newcomer to the problem a little hand getting started...?
