Emacs region highlighting
问题 Is there a way to highlight a string in a text (but not ALL such strings) in a buffer where font-lock-mode is on. Let's imagine I have a buffer with SQL mode and I want to highlight a string in it. The following code does not work (set-text-properties 10 20 '(face hi-yellow)) When I call (font-lock-mode -1) it works, but all sql highlighting disappears. There must be a solution because it's possible to select a region and it will be highlighted but I can't figure out how to do it
