I really enjoyed defining syntax highlighting rules in Notepad++ for the various build logs and artifacts I've worked on in the past to make certain text markers pop out. I was wondering if VSCode has any capabilities to do likewise.
For reference to the unfamiliar here's the Notepad++ documentation and a live demonstration:

Looks like there is support for something in this direction. The terminology is slightly different though and there may not be a GUI interface like Notedpad++
