That job is about 3 man-years worth of work.

Yes, I've played with doc, from almost the very earliest days of
Interviews (my first collection of bits came from Mark L. :-) and it's
not even in the ballpark.  In fact, to paraphrase "Pulp Fiction" it's
not in the same league, heck, it's not even the same f**king
sport. ;-)

Seriously, there are no existing freeware document editors which even
come close in scope to what is needed and those few which did probably
went on to become part of Applixware or StarOffice.  Once you've put
in that much work, the temptation to take it commercial must be
overwhelming. ;-)
