  In my blog I intend to publish my University level education in Physics so to smarten up and possibly be to some help to some people out there. One thing I’d like to do though is to be able to highlight some portions of my text not by changing font color but by changing the background color. I’d like to know if this is possible and if it is how can I accomplish it.

  Sorry if this has been asked and answered before but my forum search gave back no results that were helpful to me.

  Glad to help (and I appreciate that you tried to find the answer yourself first).

  That’s how I usually act. But now I see that my choice of words to search wasn’t the best one. Anyway, I’ve been experimenting and the code works just fine.
