Hello Doru,

This feature does not exist on Text. TextAttributes I am aware of includes:
underlined, italic, bold, narrow, struck out, indents, text color, fonts
(fonts work poorly in some circumstances) and alignment properties.
Additional things such as links and URL are there but I have never achieved
to make them work.

However, highlighting is available directly in PluggableTextMorph.

If you inspect a NautilusWindow (open Nautilus, use Morph halo to inspect
it), you can have in the iv model the packageTreeNautilusUI, then in the iv
sourceCodeArea a PluggableTextMorphWithLimits. Then in the inspector you
can do:
highlights add:
((TextHighlight on: self)
color: Color lightBlue;
lineRange: (10 to: 30))

After moving once the window, you'll notice this result:

So to have highlighting for your text I guess you'll have to dig in that
direction ... This is directly implemented on the Morph and not on the Text
so it may be a bit difficult to use.

Regards.

Clément
