    Hi @alasdair17 @arminunruh is it possible to highlight text in the text editor? I would like to highlight single words in a text paragraph. These highlighted words work as links.

        @alasdair17 yes - the text would have a red background and the font would be in white and is also a link:

          you could create a character textformat.

          image.png

          in "textformats"

          call it:

          highlight

          then write this css

          ._highlight{
              background-color: red;
              color: white!important;
          }
          

          add this in:
          lay options -> custom css & html -> custom css

            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

              @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.

                  Want to tip me? https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/arminunruh

                  Before you post:
                  1. When using a WordPress Cache plugin, disable it or clear your cache.
                  2. Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
                  3. Disable all Plugins
                  4. Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code", click "Save Changes"

                  This often solves issues you might run into

                  When you post:
                  1. Post a link to where the problem is
                  2. Does the problem happen on Chrome, Firefox, Safari or iPhone or Android?
                  3. If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it
