Research direction
The user asks how to change the underline color of highlighted words from white to another color. This is likely a feature request or a documentation gap. To address this, investigate the current implementation of the ` highlight words` option in the repository. Look for how the highlight color is set, possibly in a CLI argument parser or output rendering module. If no color customization exists, consider adding a command line argument (e.g., ` highlight color`) or updating the documentation to explain how to change it (e.g., via a config file or environment variable). Check if there are any existing discussions or issues on this topic. The fix is straightforward and can be implemented as a small code change or documentation update.
