There are a number of rich text editors that model documents as a flat array of characters and a separate table of formatting modifiers (each with an offset and length). Medium's text editor is one of them. This post [1] on their engineering blog introduced me to the idea, and I think it's a good starting point for anyone interested in this topic. ProseMirror (a JavaScript library for building rich text editors) also employs a document model like this. The docs for that project [2] do a good job of explaining how their implementation of this idea works, and what problems it solves.
