What’s amusing to me is how few suggestions around highlighting ignores the vast amounts of whitespace that surrounds every character. Borders (partial and full), underlines, strikethrough, background colors, font faces... so many options, yet are we’re constantly limiting ourselves to the color of a letter and the occasional red squiggle.

The one valid excuse I can think of is “my editor doesn’t support it”, to which I say BS. VIM, in a terminal, can do most of those.
