Ace editor coloring words

Question

I'm trying to colorize some specific words in the Ace editor (for example I want the word 'Hello' to be colored in red). I tried working with their 'highlight rules' (https://ace.c9.io/#nav=higlighter) but it doesn't seem to work.

I'm working with react and javascript by the way.

Can anyone suggest a solution or example?

Answer 1

Ace doesn't provide this feature by default, but you can using 'custom highlight rules' in ace editor.

I know that they have released this feature for customizing various new languages.
