Colored text - 'syntax highlighting' in an RTF control

This article has not been rated yet. After reading, feel free to leave comments and rate it.

For a simple HTML editor - let's say you want to have the text between '<' and '>' to be in
blue similar to comments in the code editor - you put some code in the RichEdit's Change
event like in the following example:

	procedure TForm1.RichEdit1Change(Sender: TObject); begin with richedit1 do begin if text[selstart]='<' then selattributes.color:=clblue; if text[selstart]='>' then selattributes.color:=clblack; end; end;
