I recently discovered highlight-changes-mode and I added it to my proofs-typesetting setup (LaTeX). I usually make some temporary changes to my buffer that I like not to be tracked (highlighted) when higlight-changes-mode is active.
Is it possible to do it? If so, how?
Edit. As for regexp highlighting in my question highlight-regexp: what's the variable in which they are stored? I imagine it can be done by let binding the variable(s) in which overlays are stored. Unfortunately I've not been able to find it.
A MWE of what I'm searching for can be explained by the following example.
Let's say I'm working on a LaTeX project in the proofreading stage. At a certain point I want to highlight a word/regexp in the PDF output. I can do:
(save-excursion
;; "WORD" --> "{\color{red} WORD}"
(perform-replace "WORD"
"{\\color{red} WORD}"
nil nil nil 1 nil (point-min) (point-max))
(save-buffer)
;; pdflatex the buffer-file
(tex-file)
(perform-replace "{\\color{red} WORD}"
"WORD"
nil nil nil 1 nil (point-min) (point-max))
(save-buffer)
)
In this case highlight-changes-mode will track all my temporary changes. My purpose is to create a wrapper form this kind of operation that makes them not be tracked by highlight-changes-mode.
