font-lock-face won't work, but for different reasons. As I mentioned in
my previous message, I'll report back (in fact, I'll blog about it some
day) when the issue is solved. Most probably, I will have to use
overlays.

That is interesting - I even have that library because of
`hlt-highlight-region' - but in this case I don't want any
dependencies. But thanks anyway!

Interesting, but again - external library.
