We have a very simple markup language that we would like to "syntax color code" using Tkinter's Text widget.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm looking for a simple code snippet, demo app, or high-level narrative description that explains how one might do this from one or more of the following perspectives:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>- initial markup during load</div>
<div>- realtime markup while a user edits content (including clipboard pastes)</div>
<div>- at file save time when one must walk the editted content</div>
<div> </div>
<div>To start the discusson, how might one do this with an example markup language with the following syntax?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>- any word beginning with '*' gets coded blue</div>
<div>- any word beginning with '@' gets coded green</div>
<div>- all other text has no formatting</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you,</div>
