Is there any support for highlighting in commentaries or books?

Being able to highlight key sections would really help with study and retention. It’s something I’d use often to mark important insights for later reference. If it’s not available yet, I’d love to see it added in a future update.
 
Right now highlighting is only available in the Bible tab.

What's holding me up on adding it to the other module types is the fact that books and commentaries can potentially be editable, which means the content can be changed and the highlighting data has to be maintained and dynamically updated through that editing process. This is doable but what needs to be done to support it is a lot and always falls below other, more requested, things in my priority list.

Even if the mod is created by Forge?
 
My workaround for highlighting a word in a book module. Using SwordSearcher to a highlight a word automaticlly!
Do (Quick Search F3) in your "entry window" for the word, in my case, "heart".
Results window appears, Choose the "entry" that you are searching. Could be many to choose. It will be the "entry name" of your search window.
Then choose (click) that entry. In the "search window results" all words are "highlighted".
That search window is actually a "the full copy of the entry" you just did a search in, but with "heart" highlighted.
Copy/Paste (entire window) back into your original entry, it worked for me.
I am sure there is a better way, this is my results to get what I wanted.

One caveat - Depending on your copy paste method. You will get the "Entry Title" copied twice. Easy fix just delete it.
Best Practice: use mouse to copy "all window" (the full text body), then paste back into your original entry.
If not sure use a "Test Entry Module" to see results.
Here is what that looks like:
