Visual Filter to highlight folio references in Talmud and Mishnah

The folio references are inline in the text of these documents and hard to see. It would be handy if there was a visual filter to highlight these (say in a different colour/bold/larger size).

I haven't worked out how to specify the text to be highlighted. e.g. In Neussner Babylonian Talmud, no matter where you right-click it there are only two entries: Reference in the folio system and references in the paragraph system

The clip below shows that paragraph references III.7 A, B., C. etc and the folio reference [35A]. When i take notes and anchor text the notes seems to know what the references are so there is some sort of tagging in place.

I tried the following, but it doesn't seem to work

I tried the following search

/[?/] OR /[??/] OR /[???/] OR /[????/]

but it highlights all 1,2,3or 4 letter words and doesn't seem to care if there are [ and ] around them

    Well, I struck out. It's really quite interesting how non-alpha is parsed into the VF with or without quotes.

    It's too bad they didn't tag (along with milestone) the embedded refs. They're treated equiv to pages numbers I guess.

    At the time, we were ecstatic with just text refs.
