Hi,

I'm wondering if it's possible to have some text in the editor get a certain TextStyle that isn't known until runtime.

For example, if in the editor the user types "#ffff00", I want the text to be yellow, if the user types "#ff0000" I want the text to be red, etc... Basically I don't know what the color of the text actually is until I have analyzed the user input.

Is there a way to do this?

Yes this is possible. The term is semantic highlighting

True, but as far as I can tell, you must preregister the particular highlighting configurations. In other words, I don't see how you can dynamically change the color of some text based on the value of the text in the editor (not unless you predefined every possible color that can exist...)
