Thanks Eduard for your reply. I have created a JavaScript extension and added jquery code that will give me highlighted text value. Please find attached screenshot of the same.
But this extension is working only in edit mode. Could you please suggest what might be the issue?

It simply uses javascript on the HTML output. Have you read the Skin Extensions tutorial [1] on how to plug in your JavaScript/CSS in XWiki? In other words, if you want to do something like what you`ve described, there is no XWiki default feature for it, since there was no current usecase to justify it. The only way to achieve it, at the moment, is to develop it yourself using a JSX (JavaScript Extension). Sure, you could also make it in a .js file in the webapp's resources folder or in inside a webjar [2], but the JSX is the cleanest and the recommended way to go.
