Hi

Basically we store the data without pages, but just as one long list of 
paragraphs (for you that would be lines i guess)

We then have a layout pass that creates it's own set of structures that tell 
where in the data a new page starts. These structures are regenerated every 
time the user enters or deletes anything in the data. An optimization is that 
we only starts regenerating from the page the change was made, and it's also 
planned (but not implemented) top stop regenerating the pages if we catch up 
with a state where we now the remaining pages are placed correctly.

To not be too slow the layout process is not done all in one go but a number 
of pages at a time.

hope this helps
