Hello Dan,

I see, a posteriori it makes sense that hooking directly into the syntax highlighter would be the appropriate thing to do.
If I'm reading the thing correctly, the `highlight` method is where most of the magic happens, and the idea would be to use this to override/extend the source -> lexer -> formatter(s) chain.

I'll study this thing a bit to see which part of the chain would be more useful to hijack / override / extend.

Thanks a lot,

GB
