Steve, Thanks for the clarification. So you are viewing the tiddler content as code and want the target within that to be highlighted?
I understand you have a solution but this is already handled in multiple ways. - The codemirror plugin and other tools are available with additional edit mode features such as search/and replace. Go to my playground wiki here and you can install plugins from multiple sources (4 libraries) and they are saved in local storage you can experiment, reload for plugins without saving works. - The dynannotate plugin is designed to help with annotations and search - The highlight plugin is also designed for this. - There is a search that highlights the text in the page I will post back when I find it, just type you target in the search and its highlighted if on the page, I am yet to test with code view Futures; I have built a smart-showcode tool (95% done) and I will address this need for highlighting not you point it out.
