I want to use Notepad++ as a normal text editor for writing articles.

I would like to be able to set colors based on a simple signs that i start sentences, for exmaple:

A star would mean red:

red

A dolar sign would mean green:

$green$

I understand you can set your own language, I just dont know how to set the signs.

If that is not possible, do you know a language that has thea easiest “commands” so that I could use Style Configurator to set colors and use shortest possbile commands in some coding language?
