When I posted this question I knew that the answer would probably lie somewhere
within font-lock-add-keywords, but I was unable to find it until I started
googling for 'font-lock-keyword-face' which I was already using. This search
then lead me to these two pages [1] and [2].
And that lead to this code which achieves what I was trying to accomplish, the
text within the square boxes to be coloured totally different from its
surrounding text, meaning that now I can write my book and leave myself
reminders of various questions, which when I've found the answers can then be
deleted.
