Bug ID: 67784
Summary: jquery.highlightText.js
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: JavaScript

I'm passing this request along:
To the devs and volunteer coders: Please see this snippet that uses mediawiki
functions:: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Dank/wishywashy.js
If you add that to your .js file on en.wp, then every occurrence of wishy or
washy will appear in bold for you ... and if you hover over the bolded word,
you'll get some helpful advice. People would like for me to automate some of my
copyediting advice using this script, but highlightText, as coded in Mediawiki,
won't even let me search for a two-word phrase. Ideally, I'd like to have
arguments that are regex searches (or the lua equivalent), but at a minimum, I
need to search for letters, numbers, spaces and punctuation, if I'm going to be
using highlightText. (If your solution allows something like regex, I only need
highlighting for the initial phrase that appears before any special regex
functions.)
Being able to highlight two words seems like a very useful feature. I've
already got ideas about how I might use this if it were possible.
