highlightword Extension For Quarto

Revealjs plugin to highlight specific parts of code.

I don't intend to add more functionality to this project other than fixing bugs.

There is a need for a more general highlighting plugin that works across multiple words (this plugin doesn't allow you to highlight two parts of code that is styled differently by the highligter.)

Installing

quarto add emilhvitfeldt/quarto-revealjs-highlightword

This will install the extension under the _extensions subdirectory. If you're using version control, you will want to check in this directory.

Once an extension has been added, you can use the Reveal plugin by adding it to the reveal-plugins key. For example:

---
title: "My Presentation"
format: revealjs
revealjs-plugins:
  - highlightword
---

Using

Adding a fenced with with .fragment .highlightword and the word you need, plus what any valid CSS style you want applied. Additional arguments number and chunk changes which match should be highlighted. See examples for more detail.

Example

Here is the source code for a minimal example: example.qmd.
