VBA Create Programming Style

[kato01]

Hello,

I use excel to store my macros (source code). I have VBA macros, Python macros, Java Script macros, etc. One sheet per language. It's easy to index, search etc.
I’d like to create a VBA code that formats the cells so that the text populating the cells would automatically adopt a programming language sensitive style (like a programming IDE – for example use green for comments, blue for loops etc.)
Any ideas?

Thanks

You'll have to write something and it will be hard work and vast amounts of code, it sounds like you're using the wrong tool. Why not just use an IDE, or a lite IDE like Visual Studio Code with the plugins you need for the languages you want. You can store your code in text files in folders that provides fast search and indexing, you'll get syntax highlighting as well as a load of other benefits.

Consider Notepad++. It's a free editor, and does much of what you're asking.

The idea is to have quick acces to sources. also put it on a webpage so it owuld be easy to access it from anywhwere.

see https://tohtml.com. it's really good

even more reason to use an ide, you can use github to save your work online and make it accessible from anywhere, keeping it in sync
