Highlight certain words - PHP? Javascript?
I’m working on a website for a friend and I have been asked if it is possible to automatically highligt certain words. For example they want “body” in bodyflow, bodypump and so on to be red letters. There must be a way to get the “body”-part of these words enclosed in span tags with a css-class, but I dont know how.
Anybody who can help or know where I might find help?

Re: Highlight certain words - PHP? Javascript?
Links, images and phrase modifiers normally require surrounding whitespace.
this*won't*work= this*won’t*work
To use these without whitespace, surround the modifier with [] square brackets.
this[*will*]work= thiswillwork
This is particularly useful in conjunction with superscript and subscript.
The same applies to % for spans. See the textile reference for more infos.

I was thinking of a way to automatically do this, that is without having to do it in textile?

Oh right, maybe an7_filter will do what you do. Not tried it myself, though.
EDIT: From the examples yes, looks like it does just what you want.
