Hightlight area in editor [message #248603]

Hi all,

Can someone give me a pointer on how I can highlight certain areas in
the editor?

I can get the location of the regions in the source I want to highlight
using AST, but haven't been able to figure out how to go about
highlighting those regions.

Thanks in advance.

Which editor? You own? In General
org.eclipse.jface.text.source.Annotation is a good start.

Preferably the Eclipse editor - I don't want to add another editor if I
can avoid it.
