What's the end goal in making this identification?

Perhaps visual ID is an "intermediate step" to that end goal that 
might not be as critical if there's a simpler way to get to that end 
goal.

Our marker toolset, IXgen, has a couple of different ways to view 
markers, including elevating marker text directly into the body text 
of the document, with their own character format (and you can change 
the formatting). Hard to miss them then!

If the goal is to simply edit marker content, easily and all at once, 
IXgen can provide a tabular list of marker text that you can 
manipulate. IXgen also includes ways to create new markers, and do 
several other marker-related tasks.
