    I always used the vocabulary highlighter, so I am really happy to discover this add-on. But I have a problem, the restriction of three characters for the word we could highlight. For example I want to highlight this word: 六木
    and add the description box: Mutsuki. But it is not possible with this add-on, could you do something about this?

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Indeed there's no good reason to restrict the word length, so I removed the restriction - please update to the newest version.

    One thing: while testing the change, I noticed that it doesn't work with alphabets other than English. I hastily added support for Japanese, Chinese and Russian, but I'm not sure it works very well (it may have problems detecting where one word ends and another begins). If you encounter any issues, please report them via https://github.com/ainzzorl/wordhighlighter/issues.

    I would like to use the add on, to mark different recurrent sets of words to organize my workflow. Seems to work pretty well. The add-on would be of even more use, if there was a way to mark certein setzt of information belonging together in a certain colour and other sets in different colours. For Example I have ten different word I would like to mark red and tenn I would like to mark green, because they lead to different decisions and actions within my workflow. Up to now I used the "multiple highlighter" tool which does not work any more with Firefox Quantum and I cannot find an alternative for that. Your tool would work great with the option of different colours.
