Hello,
I am a registered user.
Bear app notes allow for highlighting. Highlighted section are delimited by ::highlight::
I have many texts to print and could not find any highlight in any of your CSS models, including the bear.css
thanks very much Brett !

   That syntax is not Markdown, and Markdown has no correlating syntax. I would consider adding support for it eventually, since I’m already supporting Bear’s tag syntax, but at this point you can’t expect non-Markdown syntax to work with a Markdown previewer.

   It would be simple, however, to write a custom preprocessor to handle it, if one were handy with a scripting language (Ruby, Python, Perl could all handle it).

   You would need to convert ::highlight:: to a <mark> tag or a block tag with a class you could target with custom CSS.

   I added ::marker:: support to the beta version I released today. Feel
   free to try it out:
