Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing Prism plugin approach referenced in the issue and how the textarea editor applies syntax highlighting. Define how a custom regex for words beginning with # would be supplied and rendered blue, then document or test the expected behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Is there a way to customise which specific words in the textarea are colored/highlighted based on a custom regex function or similar? I saw the issue regarding the prism plugins but am unclear on how to implement a custom function with these that is not language related.

For example being able to detect words that start with # and color them blue.

Thanks
