- Introduction
- RTFSyntax is an application for programmers that provides a service to
- color syntax highlight rich text. By color syntax highlighting, I
- mean automatically changing the color and font of the selected rich
- text using regular expressions previously defined in RTFSyntax. For
- example, you can use this program to make all of your Objective-C
- comments appear in red Helvetica 12-point italics. Because you define
- what you want colored using regular expression, you can completely
- customize how your RTF code looks.
-
- Motivation
- With NEXTSTEP 3.2, Edit and cc(1) now support RTF. You can utilize
- RTF in your source files by creating links from one file to another,
- and also by changing the fonts and colors to make the code easier to
- read. This program automates the latter.
