As I just said in an earlier post, hi-lock is not yet working for me. I
have managed, however, to highlight text with other packages in the page
you mentioned (such as highlight.el). So, if anything else works, at
least I have now a solution.
However, it seems that using this procedure is not ideal. highlight.el
does not work in connection with font-lock-mode. It seems to me that it
would be desirable that, when one turned font-lock-mode off, all the
fontified text was unfontified. However, using packets such as
highlight.el entails using two modes to fontify, and therefore the
fontification would not be unified.
