For the record my concern is with the suspicion that an API that's not
fully exported to QML may not live up to the standards and apply changes
without emitting the signals we rely on.

I'll provide a branch to expose it, and let's aim to unit test it later
based on the use cases in Reminders (not to say it'll be the guinea big
here, being the only user of this API for now).

Title:
  TextArea does not export TextEdit's textDocument property

Status in Ubuntu Reminders app:
  Triaged
Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This would be needed for advanced RTF formatting like this:

  Right now, falling back to plain TextEdit is required.

  This is a feature to improve the UX of the Reminders core app, so that
  it can use the Ubuntu text selection and cursor to be better
  integrated.

  In terms of reusing the code that the Reminders app provides to have a
  full QML API, while technically possible, would require a non-trivial
  amount of work to make it generic enough for use for other apps. The
  features of the Reminders text editor are tightly coupled with the
  Evernote API.
