This is a start-up for true syntax highlighting, although syntax highlighting is not expected of this request. Right now, coloring different character classes differently would be a good starting point.

Although, we should already think of what a syntax highlighting engine would need in the future. Each line should be enriched by new data: the syntax highlighting automaton state. This way, the syntax highlighting engine can be re-started from any given line instead of working its way always from the beginning of the document. Should the amount of data required for syntax highlighting be way too demanding, a separate index could be used, perhaps even "somewhat sparse" index (no need to save each line's info, if the lines are relatively short, right).

Note: Url detection could be a part of text highlighting..
