I often put in my own cookies inside floawing text. For example, I label doubts in my notes with a "(?)". In the example below, I have a doubt about comment 2. Some statement - Comment 1 - Comment 2 (?) Then I can easily look for it with occur or grep from the commandline. If you want fontification for cookies like above, you can try something like this (untested): ;; font-lock customisations (defface my-global-tag-face '((t (:background "royalblue4" :foreground "thistle" :weight bold))) "Face for the global tags." :group 'my-faces) (add-hook 'find-file-hook (lambda () (font-lock-add-keywords nil '(("\\<[ (]\\([a-zA-Z0-9]\\+\\)[) ]\\>" 1 'my-global-tag-face prepend))))) Hope this helps, -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
