Text is a class which is similar to String. But the Text objects may include emphasis attributes (italics, bold ..) as well. Text is a wrapper on class String.
Every character may have its own attributes. There is a space efficient way to store them in the runs instance variable. Only the ones needed are stored there and only when they change.

Text #('string' 'runs')
A simple way to create a Text object:
Text fromString: 'hello world!'
