How should i go about making a library to color code (syntax highlighting) a user has written?

• AvalonEdit

  3 1,761 5.1 C#

  The WPF-based text editor component used in SharpDevelop

  

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.

• FastColoredTextBox

  1 1,196 0.0 C#

  Fast Colored TextBox for Syntax Highlighting. The text editor component for .NET.

You can check on GitHub for some projects that have done the same, something like https://github.com/PavelTorgashov/FastColoredTextBox

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• language-server-protocol

• PrismJS

Or this one for csharp which is more complex https://github.com/PrismJS/prism/blob/master/components/prism-csharp.js
