I haven't looked at it before. I'll check it out.

GtkTextBuffer just stores the text of a buffer (as a B-Tree) and also
holds a list of "tags", which are generic attributes assigned to
characters, lines, or paragraphs. It is the "model" of the
model-view-controller. That's the part I'd port over. GtkTextView is
the "view", which I'd end up replacing.
