How it works

The mark tag wraps the words you want to highlight, and browsers give it a default yellow background. With a little CSS you can change the highlight color, add padding, and round the corners for a modern look. Because mark is semantic, it also signals emphasis to assistive technology.

Tips and customization

  • Change the highlight color to match your palette.
  • Add padding and rounded corners for a softer highlight.
  • Use a subtle gradient highlight for extra style.
