Sounds as if you are asking to further blur the difference between a text editor and a word processor. Am not sure if Nisus still behaves the way it originally did, but it was a word processor that left the data fork as pure text while putting all formatting metadata in the resource fork. Originators of QUED/M, which for me was replaced by BBEdit.
