codemirror live syntax highlighting: extend for {tags}

Question

I have implemented Codemirror http://marijn.haverbeke.nl/codemirror/ to work as a live text editor within an application and it works perfect.

The only thing I would love to do is create a custom color (e.g. red) for tags used in our system.

We would be using tags like {something here} or {{something here}}

doe anyone know how I can extend codemirror to flag those tags in red?

Thanks a lot for helping out!

I think you have to implement your own parser resp. extend an existing one.
