Hi,(sorry for my English)

I want to highlight text within the editor programmatically.

I would like to highlight two or more parts of the text, distinguishing
between evidence, with different colors.

I would like to highlight as giving coordinates offset and length.

I have read several documents but I did not understand how I can do with
markers and annotation.

Can you help me please?
thanks
