   In emacs, is there a way which highlight lines with certain
   prefix in a file?  For example I want to highlight all lines
   with '-' or ' -' (a lot of spaces followed by a '-' of a file?

One way is to use Outline mode, tweaked appropriately.  For
example, see <http://www.gnuvola.org/software/guile-pg/NEWS>
(look at the end of the file for the "Local Variables" block).
