All all the highlighting is done by code mirror, nothing is IPython specific.

I suggest you have a  look at CodeMirror Modes Api
http://codemirror.net/doc/manual.html#modeapi <http://codemirror.net/doc/manual.html#modeapi>

This explain to you what a mode is, and how it works. 
Codemirror Mailing List / forum will be more appropriate. 
Once you know how to do what you want in CodeMirror we can help you 
to apply it to IPython.

Cheers,
