Description vk011 2017-07-24 08:22:59 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 8.2 (Build 201705191307)
Operating System = Windows 10 version 10.0 running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.8.0_131
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.131-b11

Reproducibility: Happens every time

STEPS:
  * Open tools/options/Fonts & Colors and choose HTML"


EXPECTED:
  It would be good to be able to add highlighting for custom characters. For example I use node with ejs, and I have connected ejs to html file types so I get nice html highlighting inside of ejs files, but I also use these characters <% and %> and they of course appear as plain text, but it would be better if I could add those characters as a "category" or something similar and add certain styling to them
