html
you can set the font color
red text

Hi Prettyphysicslady,
Thanks for the idea. But what I would really like is to highlight an html text(s), like you would highlight a paragraph on a, say, paperback with colored pigment (highlighter pen) so it would be easy to find later. Jun.

Here's how
yellow highlighted text

Just close the spaces in the opening font tag
(There should be no space between

I hope that's clear. If not, look at this web page and view the source code:

Highlighted Text

Bird_nj - just what I had in mind! Thanks! Jun.

The new modern way to do this is via 'span' tags. That is, instead of

<font style="background-color:yellow">yellow highlighted text</font>

You would use

<span style="background-color:yellow">yellow highlighted text<span>



In any case, you should definitely add </FONT> anywhere you use <FONT>
