Function: highlight-phrase
highlight-phrase is a function alias and interactive for
hi-lock-face-phrase-buffer, defined in hi-lock.el.gz.
Signature
(highlight-phrase REGEXP &optional FACE)
Documentation
Set face of each match of phrase REGEXP to FACE.
Interactively, prompt for REGEXP using hi-lock-read-regexp, then FACE.
Use the global history list for FACE.
If REGEXP contains upper case characters (excluding those preceded by \)
and search-upper-case is non-nil, the matching is case-sensitive.
Also set search-spaces-regexp to the value of search-whitespace-regexp.
Use Font lock mode, if enabled, to highlight REGEXP. Otherwise,
use overlays for highlighting. If overlays are used, the
highlighting will not update as you type. The Font Lock mode
is considered "enabled" in a buffer if its major-mode
causes font-lock-specified-p to return non-nil, which means
the major mode specifies support for Font Lock.
Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 28.1.
