Good point. I guess it would be nice to replace malloc/free with
LocalAlloc/LocalFree, right ?


No, the LocalAlloc/LocalFree/GlobalAlloc/GlobalFree functions are relics from the old days of Win16. You should use HeapAlloc/HeapFree.

haven't). We can merge the parser into the riched20 code quite easily... it's just enters the text into the existing control using
EM_SETSEL and some formatting messages.


LOL :) That's a smart idea :) I'm curious about interactions with undo,
but we have no undo anyway (yet).


Undo should be pretty easy as long as you can represent easily represent user actions in a transactions stack.
A user doing something will then cause an action to be pushed onto the stack (although you would probably want some coalescing so that you don't have to undo each character you typed, you can just undo a sentence). The undo command will pop a transaction of the stack and apply the inverse.
I've written a fairly nice implementation of this before in Java and it didn't take me very long.



The code looks good. It looks like you have the basic actions nailed. However, there are a few superfluous typecasts. In particular, please remove the ALLOC_OBJ macro because the name seems to suggest it does more than it actually does. You may want to use the existing doubly-linked list implementation at include/wine/list.h as it has been well-tested and people are familiar with the API. This is just a suggestion and you may feel that it is easier to use your own. A few more comments wouldn't go amiss either.


What is the ParaStyle structure used for? How does this relate to the Style structure? Each character can have a different style, so why is there a paragraph style?
