How to set word boundary using regex?

Question

Please help.

In

highlight: 'title',
className: 'red'

I tried adding a /\btitle\b/g but it's not working and I'm not sure how to customize the library.

How can I add a word boundary for title so that it won't highlight "subtitle" or any other word with "title" in it?

You could just put a \s around the word title

Please tell me how? I tried \stitle\s but it's not working?

nvm that was wrong
You could use lookaround: (?<=\b)title(?=\b)

Sorry this is still not working for me. Is this applicable to what I'm using which is inside quotation marks?

highlight: '(?<=\b)title(?=\b)',
className: 'red'

So something like that?

But thank you for trying to help me, really appreciate it!
