Yes. Txtfmt lets you highlight your plain text documents with 8 colors
and either 3 or 6 format attributes (bold, underline, italic, and if
"long" format mode is used, standout, reverse and undercurl as well).
Caveat: Currently, only foreground text color may be set with Txtfmt.
I've been intrigued by the possibility of adding background color to the
mix. I believe doing so is possible, and may also be feasible, provided
that "short" formats are used (bold, underline, italic only). The reason
for this restriction is that with "long" formats, the number of syntax
regions processed by Vim might become prohibitively large. (If you doubt
this, do a :syntax command in a txtfmt buffer using "long" formats and
then be prepared to hit the space bar a lot of times.) At any rate, I'll
have to do some prototyping when I get some time...
