Please feel to comment on the below TOC.  If there is a feature that is worth
adding, I would be glad to hear of.  Please note that the purpose of this
article is to give more depth, as well as covering more text editing features
that other articles do not covering.  For example, text folding would be
redundant to cover here; however, there could be additional depth (code wise or
explanation of the code) on text folding.

All items in the TOC are discussed with code that ultimately produces a working
editor.
