    I'm using the ScintillaNET NuGet package. It had its last update 6 years ago. Its last repo commit 5 years ago. The documentation... is lacking - for example, copying example code from there immediately gave me obsolete warnings. Still, this was simply the only library I could find for this.

    If you're using Windows Forms, you can also take a look at ScintillaNET (or for WPF inside of a WindowsFormsHost).

    It’s actually WinForms 😄. I’m using dockpanelsuite, DarkUI, and ScintillaNET. I forked the dockpanelsuite and DarkUI repos. My modifications to dockpanelsuite adds a docking manager and ability to use extra (non-default) theme files from a vstheme.gz format that the documentation specifies. I then extended DarkUI to accept ThemeBase objects and apply the necessary drawing/coloring styles to the controls.
