Suggestions for the FoxReplace FF Addon

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I absolutely love this addon.  I do have a suggestion for it, though.

I'm not sure how difficult this would be to implement, but suppose you could 
add an option for underlining, bolding, italicizing, highlighting, or in some 
way point out which words/text FoxReplace has substituted for its original text 
on the page.

For example, I hate the word "hubby".  Don't know why, I just do.  So, I use 
FoxReplace to replace all whole words matching "hubby" to "husband".  However, 
I prefer to know when this replacement as taken place, so I actually replace it 
with "*husband".  That way I know that the person didn't originally type that.  
This is helpful in situations when I'm trying to quote people, as I wish to be 
accurate.

What do you think?  I think it would be a good option.  Sure not everybody 
would use it, but having the option would be great, because I would certainly 
use it.

It would have to be something that doesn't stick out like a sore thumb, though. 
 I believe highlighting the replacement text in bright yellow would be too 
ridiculous, for example.

Thanks for your time!  I really love this addon as-is, anyway, and I'm very 
grateful that you took the time to develop it.

Now, if only there were an add-on that would automatically correct bad 
grammar...  =]

I think that it would be relatively easy to implement this, probably just 
adding the right tags around the word.

Thanks for the suggestion ;)
