Kartal, 
I do not know of any editor capable of doing this.
But I have been searching for this feature for quite a while.   ;D

Lutz_, welcome to the club then! Just do not tell anyone :)

Hi

I guess today is my wanting day. :) I am looking for a general purpose text editor that relies mostly on coloring text to improve readability and usability. I will be using for browsing text or code. What I am looking for is not code highlighting though(might be part of he deal ). I want this editor to be able to recognize indents, tabs, groups, occuring sentences, words, grammar rules etc and color them either randomly or based on predefined rules. For example one paragraph could be orange the next one would be dark blue etc.

Once I improve my coding I will write one myself but I need one right now :)

As you are looking for a general purpose text editor that relies mostly on coloring text to improve readability and usability you can opt for Boxer that which is better text editor .

kartal:
Broderick, can it color selected text? As I said the color data does not need to stay in the file it can be temporary.

Btw I have found a Vim plugin that seems to put Vim on steroids

Long live Vim :)

Hey I am trying Boxer editor at the moment. It has been a nice surprise. It has alot of options including preliminary highlighting, also does word pattern based highlight(you can add new words ) any time as well.

I will test it for a while.
