Regex Support

[rhpo]

Please add a Regex support to colorise keywords, for example, words that Starts with an uppercase character.

That is possible but it would be a breaking change as object properties don't allow Regex. Let me think....

I have uploaded a new version. Please test it and let me know.

Great work, @erosman! do you think we can take advantage of this to highlight colors in CSS?

I'm wondering if we could possibly use regex to select hex color codes in CSS and give it some styles like background-color which would inherit its value from the selected code.

[erosman]

I do it in FireMonkey, although slightly differently, but it requires more code and I actually alter the codemirror.js. In FireMonkey, I set the hex value as a style parameter and then convert it to style.

With this addon, you can set static styles but since there are many possible colours, it is not practical to set them all.

So is there some examples i can try ?

/* ex: */ CodeMirror.colorise(/(?<=<)(.+?)*(?=>)/)
