Ruby capable text editor

I'm currently using the SciTE editor for Ruby scripting.
However the SciTE editor is not capable of highlight text like the old yellow marking pen
was able to do with text on paper. This feature would be very helpful when comparing 2 similar coded scripts.
Has anyone come across an editor with this capability?

Have you tried ConTEXT yet? It's free, and works great, they've even got a Ruby Highlighter: (Right click: Save As...) http://www.contexteditor.org/downloads/highlighters/Ruby.chl

I use that for all sorts of different files.

Crimson Editor (http://www.crimsoneditor.com/ )supports Ruby, is free. I have used it a lot (not for Ruby much though) and found it to be brilliant.
