| All right. I need to ask a question, I /have/ to be merely missing something simple in regexps or such.
How do I highlight a string so that string (and only that string) appears highlighted in the paragraph?
IE: Say I wish to highlight the name 'James' so it do the following highlights:
James
(James,
James)
Etc. Basically highlight the string no matter where it appears on the line, but only that substring, in case the bold stuff there isn't easily seen.
And I get the feeling I'm missing something simple. ;)

| One of my early triggers, this works on the word "manhole":
<triggers>
<trigger
custom_colour="8"
enabled="y"
match="(manhole)"
regexp="y"
sequence="100"
>
</trigger>
</triggers>

| Ah. Much better. That works well. My mind's gone off regexps since starting to use Windows programs instead of Tinyfugue, seem to have forgotten almost everything. Thanks!

| In fact, you can do without the brackets, which merely return the contents as wildcard 1, which you aren't using.
In your case, just match on "James" and make it a regexp.
eg.
<triggers>
<trigger
custom_colour="3"
enabled="y"
match="James"
regexp="y"
sequence="100"
>
</trigger>
</triggers>
