Describe the problem

Users should be able to select some part of text and mark it with a highlight color.
This should be persisted for the file across reboots.

Hii @abhishek-kumar-91, do you have any UX approach in mind?

Try working on it. Let us know if you run into any troubles.

Thank you @abhishek-kumar-91 for your interest in this feature.

I've reassessed the complexity of this issue and removed the good first issue tag, as it requires more extensive work than I initially though. We also need to properly define the UX flow and how it integrates with the existing UI.

A few points regarding contribution:

1. We generally don't assign issues directly unless they're business-critical. Just comment your intention to work on it in the issue thread, ad that should help us track it.
2. For new features, we recommend starting with an extension first. Please check our extension documentation at https://docs.phcode.dev/api/getting-started
3. Once you have a working prototype as an extension, we can help with merging it into the core.

If you're specifically interested in implementing this feature despite its complexity(This is a very good feature to have), please let us know in the comments. However, if you're looking to contribute to Phoenix Code in general, we'd be happy to suggest some smaller, more beginner-friendly issues to help you get started.
