I am making a text editor in python with a Syntax Highlighting feature.

I used pygment module, but it is not highlighting my code rather printing plain html code.

This is my code :

from tkinter import*
from pygments import highlight
from pygments.lexers import PythonLexer
from pygments.formatters import HtmlFormatter

root=Tk()
code="hello "
formatter = HtmlFormatter()
css = formatter.get_style_defs()
div = highlight(code, PythonLexer(), formatter)
text=Text()
text.insert(INSERT,div)
text.pack()
root.mainloop()

I want that the highlighted code should be inserted in my Text widget but plain HTML code is inserted.

Thanks :)

go through my question carefully I just want code highlighting! – Srinjay Vatsa Jun 05 '20 at 08:22

HTML is HTML. The standard text widget doesn't support its display. If you want HTML support, then you need to use a widget that does support it. – clockwatcher Jun 05 '20 at 08:27
can you name such widget? – Srinjay Vatsa Jun 05 '20 at 08:28
Look at the link I referenced. tkhtml (http://tkhtml.tcl.tk/index.html) is a Tk widget that supports basic html display. The python tkinterhtml module is a wrapper for tkhtml. Take a closer look at the link I referenced. – clockwatcher Jun 05 '20 at 08:31
It's ok but can you detect pygment not highlighting my code? – Srinjay Vatsa Jun 05 '20 at 08:47
tkinter Text widget does not handle HTML tags. Try [tk-html-widgets](https://pypi.org/project/tk-html-widgets/) – acw1668 Jun 05 '20 at 11:17
