wikEd does this, may be worth checking how, but it has an arcane bug regarding handling
spaces which the developer says is not fixable (it replaces all utf8 spaces with the
normal space or something I don't recall and couldn't find in my enwp contribs).
Maybe try to make CodeEditor you linked support wiki markup...
code editor's php means to syntax highlight

wikEd's js means (couldn't find an exact line where it does that)

an extension which may have means to parse markup which I think is needed for highlighting
it properly

it being plain text?
This is not highlighting for a computer language. Its highlighting for the
default mediawiki code. For example: [[Hello|My link]]
Just an example: 'Hello' can be in red, and the other part can be in green
and brackets are bold and so on.
Is there an extension that can be installed?
This one, is for computer languages, so its not what I'm looking for:
