PandaText is a rich-text editor SDK: one text engine with a thin native view on each platform. Lines end on the same word everywhere, and each platform keeps its own keyboard, input methods, selection and accessibility.
Start with your platform: install the package, then load your fonts, create a view and set the text. Every call after that does the same job on every platform.

Editor API
The call for each editor job on each platform: text, selection, undo, clipboard, styles, lists, layout and scrolling.
