Python Syntax Highlighting

MIT App Inventor Help

Hi! I am making a python IDE. I made an input box to fill the whole screen. How do you add Python Syntax Highlighting?

I would add a HTML Label echoing the text being editted, but showing a dictionary based text replace of syntax elements wrapped with html highlight colors.

Use the text box changed event to catch new characters, and create your own dictionary map for what you want to highlight.

Sorry, I have no samples for you.
