The highline.el has a customizable variable called
highline-line. Which seems to allow which part of the line
to highlight. I guess it could be set to 'fill-column'
value an you have what you want.....
e.g. set highline-line to (fill-column . 240)
highline-line's Documentation:
*Specify which part of line should be highlighted.
Valid values are:
t mark up to end of line.
nil mark up to window border. On XEmacs, it behaves as
t.
NOTE: Let me know, if you find a way to mark up to
window border on XEmacs.
INTEGER mark up from beginning of line to column INTEGER or
to
end of line if INTEGER exceeds line length. If
INTEGER
is negative, the region marked starts from end of
line
instead of beginning of line.
(LOWER . UPPER) mark up the region from column LOWER to column UPPER
or
to end of line if UPPER exceeds line length.
Nothing
happens if LOWER exceeds line length.
It must: 0 <= LOWER < UPPER.
(point . INTEGER) mark up the region from column
(- (current-column) INTEGER) to column
(+ (current-column) INTEGER). It never goes beyond
beginning or end of line.
It must: INTEGER > 0.
Any other value is treated as t.
