Syntax Highlighting for plain text (Sublime Text)

I am a great fan of syntax highlighting in any form. But i am missing something similar for plain text files. Imagine different colors for indented lines or lines preceded by special chars. Does anything like that already exist? I'd especially appreciate a plugin for Sublime Text.

The closest thing I know of is the PlainTasks plugin:

It's a plugin to make styled TODO lists, but what you see in the screenshot is basically it.

You could modify the Markdown or reStructuredText files to actually color the text.
