Any thoughts on a method?
Reason: I am editing a long text written in 1810-20, which contains many letters. At that time it was usual that letters be not paragraphed, merely one long stream of punctuated text. But it may happen it is decided that, for easier comprehension by modern readers, the letters should be paragraphed. The insertion of paragraph breaks would in initial instance be done by hand, as the sense of the letter demands. Pending a final decision, it might be necessary to switch backwards and forwards between the paragraphed and unparagraphed formats. No such letter will exceed 64k characters in total (if that becomes a consideration).
Note that I write "insert paragraph breaks"; these could be some specific marker that appears as a paragraph break or disappears, depending on the state of the controlling internal variable.
