Hi all,

I implemented a text control that supports assigning style classes to
portions of text. It is meant to be used for syntax highlighting.

https://github.com/TomasMikula/CodeAreaFX

The code is based on the original TextArea code. This implies the
license to be GPLv2 with the Classpath Exception. I would be happy to
contribute it back to the OpenJFX project.
The idea of using a ListView of TextFlows is borrowed from Tom
Schindl's StyledTextArea
(http://fxexperience.com/2013/02/interview-with-tom-schindl-2/).

Check out the demos and the APIs. Feedback really appreciated. Any
help with the issues
(https://github.com/TomasMikula/CodeAreaFX/wiki/Known-Issues) would be
awesome.

Best,
Tomas
