Highlighting single words in a Text paragraph ?

[arminunruh]

on the website itself it will look like this. in the gridder you wont see this style.

im writing it down as an idea for adding bg color to character textformats

[danny]

@arminunruh great, thanks so much! Is it possible to adjust the position of the background colour? with my font the background colour sits a bit too low. The height is great though.

[arminunruh]

mmh do you have a link?

try this instead

._highlight{
position: relative;
}
._highlight::before{
position: absolute;
top: -3px;
left: 0;
right:0;
bottom:0;
background:red;
}

and then adjust top: -3px
to for example -6px

i cant see the page though cause its pw protected

[danny]

Oh sorry! I took the pw away. Thanks so much for the code. I tried it but it does not seem to apply. Maybe you could have a look?

I called the new character format "highlighttwo" so I can work with the first character format "highlight" in the meantime.

[arminunruh]

hey!!

when editing a textformat you can now apply padding-bottom

this should add extra space below

[danny]

hei !

thanks - in the character settings i don't see this option (I think this option is only available in paragraph settings). And when applying the character format "highlighttwo" I don't see any changes to the text.

[arminunruh]

oh i forgot. above, you have "textformat settings"

and you need to enable this first:

(make sure youre using the latest lay theme version)
