The Highway Forums Resources HELP Forum Background Color

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr>[color:"blue"]What is the Markup Code for a yellow background with bold black WORD? It's great for emphasis and I see Pilgrim uses it frequently.<br><br>I tried [spanstyle=background-color: yellow;"]WORD[/span] (From IE View Source)<br><br>Am I close?</font><hr></blockquote><p>Sorry, you are on a different planet! [img]http://www.the-highway.com/w3timages/icons/rofl.gif" alt="rofl" title="rofl[/img] Actually, to create what you are describing, it is part of the Markup Code (which is automatically translated into HTML for you). This tag is relatively new and was announced in the "What's Happening on This Discussion Board" some time back. Unfortunately, very people bother to read the announcements in that Forum, e.g., the latest one about the new Forum, nor do they read the FAQ.<br><br>So.... this tag is called the "highlight" tag. I just noticed that I forgot to add it to the "Key to Markup" popup [img]http://www.the-highway.com/w3timages/icons/stupidme.gif" alt="stupidme" title="stupidme[/img], (I'll add it as soon as I'm done with this reply!) but it is in the FAQ.<br><br>To use the "highlight" Markup tag, simply use this arrangement: [color:purple]{hi}desired text goes here{/hi}</font color=purple>. Of course, substitute the [color:red]{</font color=red>curly brackets[color:red]}</font color=red> with the correct [color:blue][</font color=blue>square brackets[color:blue]]</font color=blue>.
