Neat idea, though as I was playing around with it I noticed right away that the following seems to be impossible (or else very non-obvious) via Aftertext: "How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" I tried How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? italics wood italics wood which only seemed to italicize the first "wood", and How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? italics wood wood which obviously failed because it can't find the substring "wood wood". And of course neither of these would match the "wood" in either of the "woodchuck" instances, so no italicization there, either.

  That looks very inflexible for later edits, marking characters or words means a potentially cumbersome recounting if something is reworded or just if a typo is fixed. Also, I get the second and subsequent number issue are the three locations to highlight, but what instruction does the first, -6:-3, give to the formatter in your example?

  Not a big fan of byte/rune counting. Maybe regex. Maybe more verbosity, like: aftertext How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? context How much wood italics wood context could a woodchuck italics wood context a woodchuck could italics wood context chuck wood italics wood

It starts getting clunky but I added some new keywords to handle the multiple hits scenarios: match and matchAll.
