Text draws labels with SilkText. Editing text turns a label into a field the reader types into.

## 01. Text

SilkText draws labels and readouts from a runtime SDF glyph atlas, with outlines, glows, gradients and tabular numbers. It lives in pixi-silk/text.

## 02. Editing text

TextEditor turns a SilkText into a text layer people click and type into: caret, selection, undo, clipboard, forms and input methods, on the canvas.
