Hi Jules 
Do you have any plans regarding text coloring in the JUCE Text component?
Possibly, a different kind of a text component or a separate text component mode to display texts…
It already handles coloured text internally, but oddly, I don’t seem to have added any public methods to let you use that feature… I suppose I should probably add something to do so!
sorry, I just realised that your post is about syntax colouring, not just coloured text in general.
I’ve actually got a half-written syntax-colouring code editor that I’ve been wanting to find time to add to the library… Hopefully soon!
IIRC, haydxn or kraken did it with his angelscript langage. Knowing both guys, I guess it’s good code base to start on.
you can find a syntax colouring text editor in the angeljuice sources (there is only one syntax lexer for C like languages):
