Enable color on text instead of all black/white when using IMessageEditorTab interface?

amarionette | Last updated: Sep 20, 2022 09:56PM UTC

This is the tab that I can add to Burps built int HTTP Request/Response editor. It appears to be black and white by default and I want to highlight, bold, or add color to the parameters.

createTextEditor()

createMessageEditor() should have automatic syntax highlighting. If you want to add your own formatting to data, then you may want to look at a different type of text box, like RSyntaxTextArea. If a BApp Store extension has similar functionality, you could see how they've achieved this by checking out their code. All BApp Store extensions have their code publicly available on GitHub here: https://github.com/PortSwigger

createMessageEditor() adds a new tab menu below the existing one. Is there a way to get around this behaviour?

You could use a different library, like RSyntaxTextArea to perform your own syntax highlighting. We have a feature request to add some functionality in this area to the Montoya API, to which I have added your +1.
