\# To use:
\#   1. Save this script as "highlight\_words.py" in your Hexchat
addons folder
\#   2. Load the script in Hexchat: /load highlight\_words.py
\#   3. Set the words you want to highlight in the "highlight\_words"
list below

import hexchat

\# List of words to highlight
highlight\_words = \['example', 'word', 'highlight'\]

def highlight(word, word\_eol, userdata):
for highlight\_word in highlight\_words:
if highlight\_word in word\[1\]:
hexchat.command('gui color 3')
return hexchat.EAT\_NONE
return hexchat.EAT\_NONE

\# Register the script with Hexchat
hexchat.hook\_print('Channel Message', highlight)
