You can wrap the misspelled words in an html tag and set the inline style to display red.

def check_misspelled(self, word):
    if ...:  # check if word is misspelled here
        word = '<span style=\" color: #ff0000;\">%s</span>' % word
    self.text_browser.append(word)

`self.text_browser.append(word)` this method gives output in newline each time. So every word is in a newline. Can you give me a solution for that? – Ishara Madhawa Apr 16 '18 at 12:29

Collect the words in a list and append it to the text browser at once with a join statement. `self.text_browser.append(' '.join(x for x in collected_words))` – MalloyDelacroix Apr 16 '18 at 12:37
color doesn't apply for numbers. Why is that? – Ishara Madhawa Apr 16 '18 at 13:38
I'm not sure what you mean, it works with numbers for me. – MalloyDelacroix Apr 16 '18 at 13:50
Not only for numbers but also for special characters, It doesn't work for me. I think the reason is I'm using numbers with my native language font (සිංහල). When I use numbers with English It works. – Ishara Madhawa Apr 16 '18 at 14:22

cursor = self.textBrowser.textCursor()
cursor.insertHtml('''<p><span style="color: red;">{} </span>'''.format(word))

This will fix 'append to newline every time' issue.
