editor-core 0.4.1

A headless editor engine focused on state management, Unicode-aware text measurement, and coordinate conversion.
Documentation
//! Anchored offsets that stay stable under text edits.
//!
//! Many editor features need to remember locations in the document (bookmarks, marks, jump list,
//! snippets, …) and have those locations update when the document is edited.
//!
//! This module provides a small, UI-agnostic anchored offset type ([`TextAnchor`]) plus rules for
//! shifting it through [`crate::TextDelta`] edits.
