simplest way to highlight some part of text in QTextEdit

saeid0034

Hello, sorry if this question answered before (or there is some example of it)
I want to show some text in QTextEdit and I want to highlight some word in it
for example I have this very simple function to show text in QtextEdit

def show_text(self, str):
    self.ui.textEdit.setText(str)

For example I want when str is <nm> is 0x23 and #str is hi (its just a example and dont have any meaning) only <nm> and #str Highlight to other color
I Know I can use QSyntaxHighlighter but sadly I cant find any good example of it

Hi,

The example from the documentation is pretty complete. Do you have more specific questions about it ?

@SGaist thank you, but you dont have any example in python?

I haven't found it already translated but it's not the most complicated C++ code. The translation to Python is pretty straightforward.
