w3_tooltipy - a NQWYSIWYG (not quite what you see is what you get) tool
w3_tooltipy is a gui program/tool for writing highlighted/colored text. It uses a simple text editor widget for that. It also has support for using multiple color groups (palettes), and multiple files (projects). It has a simple user interface with a few hints explaining how to use it.
Limitations:

Limitations:
- editing of files up to 4 MiB
- a single file can have up to 8191 colored spans of text
- the text editing widget does not support text wrapping, unfortunately
- it's an external tool that is not integrated into the map editor, which makes it annoying to copy the text that it writes to the editor (you have to copy it from the file and then paste it)
- codepoints outside of the Basic Latin (unicode block), Greek and Cyrillic alphabets are not rendered (if you can make a better font, maybe this can be fixed)
- the undo/redo works for the text but not for the text's colors

Really nice for keeping prepared descriptions and needed color templates. 
I would like to suggest a few things
I would like to suggest a few things
- improving the color setting method. (allow clicking on the already created colors to change them, add a color selection box to add a new color on the same panel - seems more intuitive IMO (then doing that in the preset settings)
- Allow clicking on a color box to set it as the writing color - before typing any text.
- Allow pasting colored organized text into the program - currently pasting any colored text doesn't seem to save the copied settings in terms of color/spacing. (Example bellow)

Amazing work thanks.
I've a small suggestion that would be helpful for Users:
Add a Function that allows Users to add a Text to their Created Color, so that they can be seen when hovering over the Color.
Would be helpful for Creators that want to keep a Color scheme.
For Example: When my Mouse is over my #FF8200FF Color i see a small Box saying "AbilityDMG". So i know this was the Color i created for the dmg in my Ability Tooltips.
