Using scanner and text framework without a widget [message #333491]

I have a source code viewer built on top of a scanner that extends
RuleBasedScanner.

Is it possible to run the scanner against an IDocument, have it inject
tokens that hold TextAttribute data, and then walk over that data and
spit out, say, an HTML file? That would be instead of handing it off to
a StyledText widget for display.

I'm trying to capture the formatted code in a portable non-widget format
for embedding in a report (using BIRT).

Has anyone ever done anything like this?

Thanks
Ben
