Atom language-todo package provides the TODO highlighting.

Atom Text Editor Highlighted Words List

These words have special atom highlighting.

1. BUG
2. CHANGED
3. COMBAK (Literally "Come Back")
4. DEBUG
5. FIXME (class name is fix)
6. HACK
7. IDEA
8. NB (not just a note but an important note: Note Bene!)
9. NOTE
10. OPTIMIZE
11. QUESTION
12. REVIEW
13. TEMP
14. TODO
15. XXX

I already knew about TODO, but my new favourites on this list are BUG, IDEA, NOTE, and QUESTION for notetaking purposes in markdown files. I am as of yet unsure how to add new additions to the list (TODO).

These keywords have to be written in all caps to trigger the highlighting. Also, these words do not highlight in Plain Text syntax, but do appear highlighted in Markdown and programming language syntax comments.

Styling

They can be styled in Atom's style sheet styles.less by targeting the syntax class of the keyword

atom-text-editor.editor .syntax--type.syntax--class.syntax--question {
  color: green;
}

DEPRECATED: targeting the direct class name in the shadow DOM is deprecated.

atom-text-editor::shadow .type.class.todo {
  color: green;
}
