FR: Make it work with <mark> attributes like <mark class="green">

[Moonbase59]

Hi there, and thanks for a useful plugin. I came across a small issue today and wonder if you’d like to fix it.

Currently, the plugin extracts highlights fine for

• double-equals highlights (==highlight==)
• text marked with <mark>something</mark>

but it will not extract highlights if the <mark> element has attributes, like <mark class="green"> or <mark style="background-color: pink;">.

Since I showed how to use "compatible" different-colour highlights in the forums today, I’d be grateful if Extract highlights could also handle these.

I'd support this request, which is needed for this to work with the Highlightr plgin.

The current plugin v0.0.18 currently is not able to extract with highlights with attributes e.g. . Thank you for helping to make it work.

I know little about js and plugin develop.
But I wrote lua script for my text editor(Textadept) to extract highlights from markdown, supporting bold, highlight, <u>, <mark>, and titles. I can share it if needed.

I also agree with this proposal, it will be great useful if it can work with the Highlightr plugin, and extract highlights like: <mark style="background: #6FE26FA6;"> text </mark>.
