I am currently working on a project that involves syntax highlighting.
Does anyone have/know any good algorithms in implementing syntax highlighting?
I originally thought that I would just do it by line, but some lines are continuations of others, etc.
I wouldn't know to go after reserved words, operators, strings, or the like first. Any direction would be appreciated.
How are you displaying your text? (Rich Edit? Something you made? Console?)
Simply just search for the word first...then you can add tags in front of it and behind it to change its color (if in a web page).. tht's it you have highlighted it!! :-)
