that depends on your RegExp … you have to use the multiline option e.g. “/far/gm”

as it is based on Regular Expression you could almost do everything you like.

You can use Grants RegExp Tool to test the regular expressions on your text http://gskinner.com/RegExr/

Hi,
It’s great and all but can I highlight so that lets say after the word “layer” is highlighted and before the word “layer1″ is highlighted?

hey ariisom,
I guess you could use the TextHighlighter for your problem, but I wouldn’t do it, you can use the built in methods as well. In either way you have to determine the word you are hovering. Having the word or the positions of the word the highlighting is very easy.

is there a way to highlight dynamically? It’s like when you highlight a text for copy pasting…can be any words from the text. So the textHighlighter.highlight(…); would receive the text from mouse coordonates.
