# To subscribers of the xforms list from Jay Bratcher <jayb@netjava.com> :

Hi all -
I think the answer to this is "no," but I'll ask anyway. I'm using
Xforms4perl to create an app which needs to highlight multiple instances
of a substring (sort of like '/' in the pager less). I would prefer to
use colors to do this, but I can't seem to find an object which supports
multiple colors within strings. I know the browser can manipulate color
for a complete line, but how about a substring? If it isn't possible
with colors, do any objects support multiple fonts in a single line of
text?

Thanks,
Jay
