I’m using temporary attributes for TeXnicle (LaTeX editor), but as others have said, it doesn’t work if you need bold etc.
Anyway, you can see the source at github: https://github.com/martinhewitson/TeXnicle You need to look in TeXnicle/TeXnicle/TeXEditor/TextView/TeXColoringEngine.m Originally I was using standard attributes, but this was way too slow (at least the way I did it) for large documents.
