Syntax Highlighting in TextView

[edbsystem]

Loving the framework so far. Just want to ask if I can do syntax highlighting in the TextView?

See here #1336 and the Syntax Highlighting scenario on the UICatalog.

This is the code behind the Syntax Highlighting scenario (see below). There is no lexer or out of the box parsers so you will have to use a library for that or write your own one. The way you implement the highlighting is to subclass TextView and override void ColorNormal (List<System.Rune> line, int idx) .
