i would like to highlight some phrases when a file is opened.
So, i thought i put this in the first line:
-*- eval-expression: (hi-lock-face-phrase-buffer "me:" 'red ) -*-
however, the proper syntax for hi-lock-face-phrase-buffer seems to be:
(hi-lock-face-phrase-buffer "me:"
(defface hi-pink
'((((background dark)) (:background "red" :foreground "black"))
(t (:background "red")))
"Face for hi-lock mode."
:group 'hi-lock-faces)
)
can it be simpler? I just need to color the text and background.
i have other people's names i need to color red, blue.
Thanks.

1. Write a function that takes a color name and defines/returns a face by that
name with the appropriate attributes.
2. Make sure the file where that function is defined gets loaded.
3. Call the function to provide the FACE argument to hi-lock-face-phrase-buffer.
