Subject: Text highlighter functiontionality
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2009 04:44:44 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <efef95f3-e58c-4408-9754-21884fb772e7@b15g2000yqd.googlegroups.com> (raw)

Is anyone aware of a text highlighter functionality in emacs? I would
like to highlight (possibly non-connected) portions of text in a
buffer in such a way, that the highlighting persists within one emacs
session (i.e., when I change the buffer and return to it again, the
highlighting should still be there).

(To avoid confusion: I do not mean the selection of text, the intended
highlighting is just for a better orientation while reading the text.)

Stephan
