I used wordpress to take notes daily. Occasionally I want to write a paragraph that I want to stand out as something to call my attention to later when scanning the notes, like a ‘to do’ item.
In a post, in which I take my notes per class and per meeting, I want to just write something like:
\-> Call the plumber before the weekend.
And I want the ‘dash arrow’ (->) to be all I have to write on that line via text, and have the wordpress editor, upon publishing, convert that one line into something like ‘<p class=”highlight”>Call the plumber before the weekend.</p>’
That way I can use styles to make that paragraph standout however I like.
The custom HTML seems too many clicks away. Custom shortcodes also doesn’t seem swift enough. It’s like I want customized markdown or something.
Is a key combination like this that converts into custom HTML a possibility?

It would be pretty easy to write a little jQuery to find that character combination throughout the page and apply a class to the parent paragraph tag.
