Highlight all line after TODO

[efeyitim]

I am using hl-todo-mode and it highlights TODO keyword and also : punctuation without any problem. However, I also want it to highlight all the words after the TODO keyword until the end of the line. How can I achieve it? I tried to enable the extend attribute of faces but it didn't work.

You can apply this patch:

diff --git a/hl-todo.el b/hl-todo.el
index e03e9d0..4ec7ebb 100644

   (setq hl-todo--keywords

   (font-lock-add-keywords nil hl-todo--keywords t))
 
 (defvar hl-todo--syntax-table (copy-syntax-table text-mode-syntax-table))

I am not sure why we have to use [^\"\n]*, but if we use .* instead, then the keyword and the rest of the line are not highlighted inside a string, if the string ends on the same line as where the keyword is located.
