======Synopsis:======
[[load]] highlight \\
/highlight \\
/highlight //<pattern>// \\
/nohighlight //<pattern>// \\

======Description:======
The highlight script implements a feature that provides the same facility
that highlight [[ignore]]s used to provide.

The /HIGHLIGHT command without any argument displays your highlights list.

The /HIGHLIGHT command with a single argument adds that argument to the
highlights list.

The /NOHIGHLIGHT command with a single argument removes the argument from
the highlights list.   The argument must match exactly a previously argument
passed to /HIGHLIGHT.

======Facility:======
Whenever a [[on topic|topic change]], [[on wallops|wallops]], 
[[on public_msg|pubilc_msg]], [[on public|public]], 
[[on public_other|public_other]], [[on msg_group|msg_group]],
[[on msg|msg]], [[on signoff|quit]], [[on join|join]],
[[on invite|invite]], [[on nick|nickname change]],
[[on mode|mode change]], [[on kick|kick]], [[on notice|notice]],
or [[on public_notice|public notice]] occurs, and either the nickname,
the user@host, or the channel for the argument matches a value on the
highlight list, the corresponding nick, user@host, or channel name is
highlighted in the same way highlight [[ignore]]s used to do.

This facility only works if you don't have your own [[on]]s, which is
exactly the way the highlight [[ignore]]s used to work.
