};

matchObject MUST be a RegExp, a String or an Array of String. When it is a RegExp, it SHOULD include 'g' flag.

matchObject = 'abc';  // every 'abc' match

matchObject = /\B@\w+/g; // every words start with @ match

cssObject MUST be a Object. It controls the style of boxes which are put under the matching strings in the textarea.
