Try [hl-prog-extra](https://gitlab.com/ideasman42/emacs-hl-prog-extra)
package, it was written for this purpose.

That's strange, I use this regularly and never saw that message.

- What version of emacs are you using?
- Is this a warning or an error?

If I can find a way to report this message I can probably resolve
fairly easily.

For some reason org-mode only works with pre-defined faces (quite
strange as these work elsewhere).

This works for me:

    (defface my-org-face
      '((t (:background "#006000" :foreground "#FFFFFF")))
      "My Org Face"
      :group 'basic-faces)

    (add-hook 'org-mode-hook
      (lambda ()
        (setq-local hl-prog-extra-list
          (list
            '("\\<\\(town\\|city\\|forgot\\|victim\\|crime\\)\\>" 1
(nil comment string) my-org-face)))
        (hl-prog-extra-mode)))

I believe writegood-mode supports your use case.

Let me know if this works, I may have to document this problem if it
can't be resolved on my side.

This is a [fully self contained
config](https://bitbucket.org/ideasman42/workspace/snippets/gBRBxz)
made by making minor changes to [emacs-for-
vimmers](https://github.com/ideasman42/emacs-for-vimmers) that works
in my tests.

Check `CUSTOM-HIGHLIGHT: BEGIN/END` blocks.

Fixed - this issue only happened in Emacs 27 (I was running master).

----------------------------------------------------------------------
ideasman_42 · 2022-03-24 00:20

Try again, I've committed a fix that should work in Emacs 27.x.

This works here:

    '("[[:blank:]][[:blank:]]" 0 comment '(:background "#006000"
:foreground "#FFFFFF"))
    '("-[[:upper:]][[:alpha:]]*" 0 comment '(:background "#006060"
:foreground "#FFFFFF"))

Have you tried Emacs' built in highlighting features?

    (highlight-phrase "your phrase" 'underline)

Interactively.html
