I would like to see all the lines starting with '//' in a grey colour (Like comments in an IDE). Can I do this automatically while typing using the autocorrect feature any other feature available in Libre Office Writer?

I tried to use replace in auto-currect options. I was able to replace strings starting with prefix '//' to some predefined text. I don't want to replace the whole text. I just want to format lines that start with '//'. Can I do that?
