Text Substitutions in ACE Editor

Codemirror allows for text substitutions via doc.markText(...). (i.e. it is possible to substitute a part of the document by arbitrary HTML). This is really handy when you want to support languages with special characters that can be abbreviated. (e.g. --> for implication arrow or /\ for a logical and). Especially helpful is the fact that only the visualization is changed and not the document itself.

My question: Is there a similar functionality in ACE which I am missing or is there an extension?

This isn't supported yet, but ace foldlwidgets are somewhat similar, and can be modified to work for this use case. I think you should open an issue on ace bug tracker about this.
