The "highlight colour" setting defines what happens when a given colour is used to highlight a passage from a PDF. If you want all the passages highlighted in yellow to be prefaced or followed by a given set of characters, then you can specify these around the {{highlight}} placeholder. For instance "IMPORTANT {{highlight}}" will add the word "IMPORTANT" before the highlight of that colour. There are also some pre-defined transformations that can be assigned to the highlights of a given colour. The keywords are specified in the settings. For instance, by typing H3 next to the Green highlight, all the passages highlighted in green will be turned into a level 3 header.
