There a few caveats to getting these two extensions to work together.
I've posted an article on how to get topic keyword highlighting
working with Conversation Package's suggested topics list -- I hope
you find it useful.

Thanks Matt. This is exactly what I am doing now. I will check out
your page and see if what I am doing can be improved.

This looks very helpful. One small point: I believe the line that reads:

say "[the prepared list delimited in disjunctive topic style]";

should read:

say "[the prepared list delimited in disjunctive style]";

With that change, it seems to work as expected, and with your permission
I'll incorporate it into the next version of Conversation Suggestions (in a
section marked "for use with Complex Listing by Emily Short", leaving my
original code in a section marked "for use without Complex Listing by Emily
Short"). This means that authors will just need to add the line:

Include Complex Listing by Emily Short

In their code to take advantage of the fix in your article.

You are correct; I forgot to change that line when I made my last
round of modifications. You absolutely have my permission to use
whatever you like out of that post.

I've figured out how to make the single-keyword interface work as
well, although there are some issues with it. I'm writing it up now
and should post tomorrow.

And actually, you might want to wait until tomorrow's post; as I'm
writing up the new installment I've found a couple of improvements
that make the highlighting behavior even closer to what Aaron's
interface provides by default.
