Highlight HTML Text With BACKGROUND-COLOR

On the printed page, people are accustomed to seeing portions that have been marked by a highlighter. You can achieve the same effect on your Web page using a Style attribute and BACKGROUND-COLOR. For example, this HTML code inserts a yellow background on the word "next".

 
<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P>The due date is <FONT 
style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow">next </FONT>week.</P>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Recent versions of Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer support the background color style.
