The following is NOT what you asked for, but it is similar: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Highlight_multiple_words The tip matches all occurrences of a pattern, whereas you want to match the text between two positions. > But in this case, my line and column numbers are stored in > variables.

See ":help :execute" and you might find some clues in some of the tips, but I don't think any highlight between two positions. > A related question is, is it possible to create marks not by > going to a certain position and doing a ma (for example), but > just by specifying the line and column numbers? It's useful to try ":help function-list" and search for likely terms. It looks like setpos() might help.
