Answer 1

Hope i'm not too late :) I had the same issue and couldn't find any implementation in the main flutter package or any third party packages, so i hacked a little packaage and uploaded it. it's an extension of the text editing controller that you can supply with a map of Regex patterns and corresponding Text style.
