public class SyntaxPane
extends javax.swing.JEditorPane
implements javax.swing.event.CaretListener

An editor pane with syntax highlighting for HTML tags.

This is a basic approach to syntax highlighting using regular expressions. It is used to make the plain HTML view of application SimplyHTML more legible by separating tags and attributes from content.

The method doing the actual highlighting work is put into an implementation of the Runnable interface so that it can be called without conflicts.

Can be refined in the way Patterns are set up, i.e. not hard wire pattern setup and a GUI to let the use choose styles for patterns.
