  What is the URL of your site?

  Hi there,

  The highlights are being caused by this HTML in the respective blocks:

  https://d.pr/i/2bGlez

  It looks like this has been happening to a number of people, and we already have a bug report open for our developers to investigate this. I’ve added your site to the list of affected sites.

  For no, to remove that highlighting, you’ll need to edit each block and delete the HTML code causing this. To do this, click on a block, click the … icon in the toolbar and select “Edit HTML”. Remove every instance of both <mark> and </mark>. Click … again, and select Edit Visually.

  The text might still appear highlighted in the editor, but once you update the page, it shouldn’t be highlighted on the site any more.
