| | I'm sorry if this has been posted somewhere else in the past, but while I have figured out how to highlight multiple words in a single line, I don't know if it's possible to cause multiple highlights in a single word. My original thought was that if I created two triggers that would do it but it wasn't working that way... ^<\bdebate\b> and then using ^<\b......\b> as the other match but i'm assuming they overlayed and only one worked which was the ^<\bdebate\b>. I'm trying to highlight the < > a different color then the Debate in the middle... Is this possible? | | Top |

| Can you post both triggers you tried please?

You should be able to do both multiple words and multiple highlights within a word. |

| | Apologies for thread necromancy, but I am having a similar issue. I am trying to highlight the entire line for any pages/whispers that come my way, and highlight a list of names independently. With both a single word highlight set up for the name, and a line highlight set up to color the line, I get a line that is highlighted properly for a whisper/page, but the name will not highlight properly. If I uncheck "keep evaluating" on my single word highlight, the opposite happens, I get the name highlighted, but not the line of the whisper/page. Is this an issue with order-of-operations? How do I get it to apply the line highlight, and then the word highlight on top of it? Hopefully the system will notify me by mail when this gets a reply. I know I'll forget to dig into the forums to check for this! | | Top |

| | WOOO, solved it myself after some digging! For anyone else facing this problem, lower the "sequence" integer in the trigger settings for your line to a lower number so it gets executed first! I set all my system-level line highlights (pages, whispers, system messages, etc.) to 1 so they get executed first! | | Top |

| | Good idea. A low-sequence, "keep evaluating" trigger should do that OK. |
