Not sure what you refer too.

But it will probably work. Not necessarily with the highlight all (which 
is search based).

But it should be easy once I have an  SynEditTextMarkup object.
The idea is that it provides functions like
MarkupStyleAndColorAtPos( XPosInLine ) : SomeStyleInfo;
XPosOfNextMarkupChange( CurrentXPosInLine ) : integer;

Then while adding a token, to the token akku, it would be splitted (if 
needed) and the markup applied.
=> so any other (non Language (eg non-pascal, non-html,...)) Markup, 
could be done in there.

I'll post more, once I converted my current proto-type, to support this.

BestRegards
Martin
