Description

Hey all,

This is a great library, thanks for contributing! I have a quick question hoping someone could help me:

I would like to automatically update the styling for any text that matches a specific regex pattern in the editor. For example, if a user enters in any text in double curly braces, I want to change the color. Eg. {{text}} should highlight to green.

I know the library supports syntax highlighting but I was wondering if I can build any custom highlighting.

Thanks in advance!

Research direction

The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Start by reviewing the library's existing syntax-highlighting support and determine whether custom regex-based styling is within scope; done would mean establishing whether text such as {{text}} can receive custom green styling.
