It is very complex for me…
i have tried to find solution but I just understand I need :
1/ create a new syntax (.tmLanguage)
2/ create new color-scheme

Perhaps, somebody in this forum have already created it : a simple syntax mainly used for .txt files (plain text) where there are 3 difference style : main, bold and red
