Show small Popup above highlighted text in Code mirror editor


I am using the following code to highlight the text segment in Codemirror, a code editor and syntax highlighter, downloaded from here.

I am not able to figure out from documentation how it is supposed to be implemented.

for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++)
{
        var range = array[i].split("-");
        editor.getDoc().markText({
            line: parseInt(range[0].split(":")[0]) - 1,
            ch: parseInt(range[0].split(":")[1])
        }, {
            line: parseInt(range[1].split(":")[0]) - 1,
            ch: parseInt(range[1].split(":")[1])
        }, {
            css: "color : white; background-color: red; border: 1px;"
        });
}

Desired output (Not same as below, just for the clearance of concept)
