Usage

BSHighlightableTextView is written in Swift. You can use Interface Builder to set the properties of the view or you can do it programmatically:

//'highlightText' can be nil, the default value will be "Highlight".
//'highlightColor' can be nil, the default value will be Yellow.
let textView = BSHighlightableTextView(aFrame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 100, height: 100), aTextContainer: nil, viewIdentifier: "myTextView1", highlightText: "Highlight", highlightColor: UIColor.red)
self.view.addSubview(textView)

If you user Interface Builder, just make sure to set the property "viewIdentifier". This is super important for persistence to work.
