Description
So far that isn't included in the samples, so I guess it isn't available as a "plain" highlighter (handling comment/hint lines, giving the background of + / - a green/red style.
I came here checking if this is supported in monaco-editor as the PowerToys preview doesn't handle it - but it seems to be really missing here (if not, then it is missing in the examples).

Start by reviewing Monaco Editor's existing samples and language-highlighting support for how plain text formats are handled. The requested result is .diff/.patch highlighting, including comment or hint lines and green/red styling for lines beginning with + or -; confirm the behavior in the relevant samples or editor output.
