A LavishGUI 2 Text Scanner selects a Text Type and any related options for decorating text, such as colors and fonts for special portions of text (for example, syntax highlighting).
Each LavishGUI 2 Element with Text (any commandbox, textbox, textblock) can have its own Text Scanner defined.
Defining a Text Scanner
A Text Scanner is defined as a JSON Object, usually as part of an Element (currently including commandbox, textbox, textblock)
