We are working on creation of GEF-based xhtml-like wysiwyg editor.
On the current stage there is version
one of the most difficult issue is cursor implementation (something close
to dreamweaver).
AFAIR, there are no (and likely will not be in the future) cursor support
for such tasks in GEF.

Problem 1. How to represent styled text (we are using 1:1 tag:class
hierarchy in the Model level),
and the most simpliest way from that point of view
- to represent each character as a separate EditPart. Thus we could traverse
through and select any
range of characters, change style individually or whole range. But as a
price - a tremendous overhead
as we need 3 objects for each character (model+figure+editpart).

Problem 2.
