looks really nice, I will push it ( or maybe someone else will before me 
) when I get a build to run a quick test on this, the screen shot looks 
good!!!

not sure what the plan is about that, I'm sure someone will comment and 
advise

hmm, not exactly sure, seems the control that contains the text is a 
MultiLineEdit ( which is in turn an Edit ) see 
svtools/inc/svtools/svmedit.hxx. There are methods in there to access 
the TextEngine ( see svtools/inc/svtools/texteng.hxx ) and afaics you 
use the SetAttrib method to apply attributes to a text range. An example

also if you haven't already can you confirm your contribution is under
