This is enough to make the concept of highlighting a syntactical unit a prior art (assuming the date on the said invention is not older), and the invention may now at best claim a method of solving this. The latter would barely be an invention on grounds of obviousness.
Note: IANAL, and haven't read the claims of the said invention.
- endersshadow 13y agoThat's not anywhere close to prior art. Syntax control highlights words based on their syntactical unit, not just doing a *ly grep.

- alok-g 13y agoBut going from a *ly grep to a syntactic unit is merely a matter of using a context-free grammar instead of regular expressions. The latter extension is obvious.
