Hi,
I'm currently working on an RSS File Editor. I want to implement a syntax highlighting feature, but I don't know how to program it and didn't find anything useful on the internet. I'm using a RichEdit as the editor window. Can someone tell me how to do it or give me the code that I can adjust to my needs (enter the words, that i want to be highlighted)?
I'm looking forward to your answers
Thank you,

by the way i'm using delphi 7
