History of 2017-08-14 The highlight.el library

19:03 UTC Revision 1 . . . . Marcin BorkowskiLast year, I wrote about a few ways of highlighting things in an Emacs buffer. A few days ago I had a somewhat similar need. This time, however, I didn’t have a regex to match the things I wanted highlighted: I just needed to mark something (as in “region”), and have it permanently highlighted (“permanently” meaning that the highlighting should survive editing commands, but not actually closing the buffer). Emacs being Emacs, it turned out to be possible (and easy).
