Change highlight keywords
Can certain highlighting functionality be disabled? Specifically I do not wish * to be used for bolding text, as I use that symbol usually to signify the multiplication operator.
This is related to issue #84
No this is not possible at the moment.
Making it possible to enable/disable individual syntax items defined by the notes plug-in is not something I'm looking forward to because that way lies madness - most of my plug-ins already suffer from the problem of having so many options that I now spend half my time telling people which option they need because they didn't notice it in the documentation.
Would an escape sequence like discussed in #84 be an acceptable option?
Yes I think an escape sequence would definitely be a great starting point.
