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
