Highlighting rules

Using highlighting rules, you can setup color coding for specific tags. For example, you might make tag @important appears red, or the entire line containing the tag appears red.

A highlighting rule section looks like this:

    <highlighting-rule>
        <tags>important, high</tags>
        <highlight-tag-color>#D08770</highlight-tag-color>
    </highlighting-rule>

• tags: The list of tags to highlight. Each tag is separated by a comma.
• highlight-tag-color: Color value for specified tags.

If you specify tags without prefix @,#, e.g. important, both @important and #important will match.

Color format

Outlinely only supports #rrggbb format.
