Actually, I was thinking more like just pulling out just the text that's
been edited (last word or line).  You could keep track of what line is being
edited (EM_LINEINDEX, EM_CHARFROMPOS, EM_LINEFROMCHAR should all be useful),
and wait for it to be changed.  At that point, use EM_GETLINE to get the
text of the line, color code it, and stream it back in as rich text.

It's not quite as simple as all that, of course, but that's my take on how
it might be done.  I'm no expert on writing editor stuff, though.
