hi, i would like to know how to fontify text between quote marks in
org-mode.

the way it appears in my scratch buffer, which is lisp i believe,
would be great. example here:

i found this post that seemingly describes how to do it, but i
evaluated the code given in the response and it doesn't seem to have
had an effect: [https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/44578/using-
org-mode-for-writing-would-like-text-in-quotes-to-be-highlighted-and-
also](https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/44578/using-org-mode-
for-writing-would-like-text-in-quotes-to-be-highlighted-and-also)

any assistance would be appreciated!

Did you check to see if the theme you are using has org-ellipsis
defined?

You can use highlight-phrase. I'm in my phone now, but search for that
in the book "mastering emacs". You can add it to your init and it will
be persistent. :)

yes, org-ellipsis is defined (custom by me, not by theme)

init, could you point me in the right direction?

Happy it worked! :)

I am in mobile now with limited connection, but I remember that each
time I do it I go back to the book "mastering emacs". In the same
article about highlighting is the recipe to make it permanent, at
least per file. I use it a lot for usability tests and it works great.
