ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Methods and apparatus for creating and editing multidirectional or multidimensional text including a string of codes defining a text and a parser means responsive to operation of the editing means for reading the codes of the string and parsing the codes into encoded units, wherein each encoded unit is comprised of a group of codes defining a group of one or more characters that are positioned in an expression as a unit. The codes in the string of codes representing a text include character codes representing the characters of symbols of the text and operator codes defining properties of the text. Operator codes include structural operators defining organizational relationships between the units of the text. Operator codes include script operators defining a script unit located in a script position with respect to a base unit, wherein each script unit is defined as a unit having a baseline oriented with respect to the baseline of the base unit and offset from the baseline of the base unit by a selected distance and wherein the location of the script unit baseline relative to the base unit is determined by the script operator code. The baseline of a script unit may be offset to either side of the baseline of the base unit and the script unit baseline may be located in a position preceding the base unit, adjacent to the base unit, or following the base unit. Operator codes further include line split operators, wherein each line split operator defines a group of N units wherein the starting locations of the N units are oriented in a line vertical to a baseline.
