[Help] RTF Syntax Colouring

I'm looking for a library that I can use so I can select keywords that would get highlighted (in a RichTextBox of course).

string text = "example";

aswell as forecolour, background colour, bold, italic, et cetera...

I found a resource, but it's a bit broken, so I need someone to find or make a library to assist me. (Numberlines would be cool as well.)

(Also, I've actually tried to code something like this before but it doesn't really work out )

I'm not particularly sure if you want to write your own language... but I won't be stopping you.

I've found that the preexisting "libraries" in .NET are sufficient to handle what you want to do. I think you should be more worried about making a language (compiler) that actually runs

And if you're just passing it as runtime C# parsing... why bother? Just let the user get out the SharpDevelop (nice and tidy) or VisualStudio (comprehensive)

I don't really have plans to make a language, at least not yet, I'm asking because when I started programming I really wanted to figure this out but never could. I'm just asking to put peace my inner nub-programmer (though I still am).

Also, thanks ninjasupeatsninja, I've been through a lot of CODEPROJECT projects and haven't seen this one.
