What I usually do when formatting text is to work with one buffer, and
insert the text needed as you go. For instance:
Start off with a StrCopy of your Primary intention. If you want a space/
tab before your Primary intention, then StrCopy that in, and StrCat all
following data into the main buffer.
StrCat a newline character in '\0A'.
StrCat an arbitrary number of spaces in.
etc...
Display the string in the text field.
When you need to modify, you can search through your output buffer for
the text that precedes and follows the point you want to insert data,
using a for loop structure, then insert.
Each time you update the string, clear out the text field and redraw
the string buffer. Make sure you clean up all leftover memory handles,
etc.
