Math Highlighting Comments

Dante, I built your patch and I have a few suggestions to make (see the attached ODG file "Math Highlighting Comments").

1) Keywords could be marked as bold to make it clear for the user that a format command is being used. This is important because sometimes the user thinks the word will be treated as text when it is in fact a command. For a complete list of commands, refer to the Math Guide (https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/a/a2/MG70-MathGuide.pdf).

2) The double quotes for strings could be formatted together with the string itself (see the example in the attached file)

The following three comments are not part of this patch, but could be considered in a future enhancement you'll submit.

3) I liked the color combination you chose. However, in the future there could be options for Math under Tools > LibreOffice > Application Colors for the user to change the colors if h/she desires (as currently there is for other LO components).

4) Currently in the Formula Editor, the line breaks at a weird position, near the middle of the editor. It could be better to use all the available screen space.

5) There could be way to increase the size of the font in the Formula Editor (I mean the font used for the markup language). The current size is a bit small. I think the easiest way to implement this is to use the same configuration that's applied for the Basic IDE (which is the font set under Tools > Options > Fonts in the "Font Settings for HTML, Basic and SQL Sources".

I'm available to test/comment future versions of this patch or new patches you submit to the Math component.
