Trying to make a notepad app.
Don't know what to store the entered text as.
Could store it as a really long string.
Don't think that would be a good idea.
I want to include stuff like italics and indentations in the text.
is there anything like rich text format i could store it in?
Any help?
As far as variable declaration goes, the entire text should be stored as a string, there is no rich text format string. For displaying this data, you would need to parse the italics and underlines your self, which could be messy.

There isn't any out-of-the-box solution for that, so you're going to need to roll your own. I'd assume you'd store the text as a series of objects each containing a string with a block of text plus the formatting properties for that text.
Storing long blocks of letters
