7 years ago Thanks for your suggestion. The image was very helpful 👍
Let me first explain what are my main motivations for developing this extension. They are:
- Help me understand what's going on in the system by highlighting multiple keywords (like certain user id, ip address, ...) in log files (like access log, application log, ...)
- Help me be sure if system is correctly configured by highlighting multiple keywords through multiple source code or configuration files
- Help me understand which bit of code has reference to which variables while I read rather complex source code
Now, It seems like what you want to achieve is to always emphasise certain statements (like console.log debug statements) or comments that start with certain sequence (like ##).
Adding the save functionality to the extension would be useful so that I can close the editor and resume the log reading later. Supporting regex to highlight would also be great. It allows me to highlight not only the texts beginning with ## but also texts with slight variation such as date string. I'll think supporting it.
But perhaps, as what you want is more like customisation of your syntax highlighting, if you're only thinking about js, it might be faster if you write your own js syntax highlighting and replace the default one. cf. Adding Language Colorization 😉

Happy New Year to you and thank you for your plugin. I'd like to use your plugin to improve my js codes in a game engine developer context. I would like to know, if will be possible do similar highlight of what [notepad++] allowed. Here is a rough example to highlight and separate some line of code. in [notepad++] Your plugin is ideal for me, but highlight does save when closed? http://imgbox.com/ONUBaWcn
I would like to be able to highlight with a white background color and saved. :) I'm new to VBC and I love it, I only regret marker layout, but your plugin will seem able to offer this context Thank you friend
