How should i go about making a library to color code (syntax highlighting) a user has written?
For the most part it's best to just use something like AvalonEdit that already implements it for you. There's some documentation and if you dig a long time ago there was a book about how it was made (along with SharpDevelop) that may still be findable.

I made a thing
Not OP, but at work I recently implemented an HTML/CSS/JS code editor and used AvalonEdit to great effect for syntax highlighting in a large multi-line textbox. I was also able to add custom linting via regexs and it's got custom theming capabilities. Super happy with it.
