You can.

The correct definition is %myhotpink myblue define=highlight% . This
is alluded to but not explicitly stated in the documentation for WikiStyles.

These can be done as local customizations. Following PmWiki Philosophy #3,
I just did the most popular ones to begin with, and I'm waiting to see
which others are needed and what names I should use. In general I don't
like "flags" such as "bold=true", and perhaps it would be good to borrow
from the CSS style names (e.g., font-weight=bold, font-style=italic)
rather than invent new ones. Since these can be shortcut as %bold%,
%italic%, or even %b%, %i%, or %b i%, users aren't forced to use the longer
names.
I'll create a cookbook entry with some style customizations.
