Highlighting text on this forum

[Millstone85]

Hello, I am using the highlight tag on this text, but I do not know how to choose the color.



Now I am using a table to highlight this text in my favorite color, but it takes longer to type.


Is there a better way? Thank you.

if you are using the WYSWYG editor, highlight the text and press the Text Color dropdown (next to the Size dropdown) and pick a colour.

Like this?Not, not like this but like this except with a different color than yellow.

So, I know that...

... gives:

But I am trying to do something like...

... which does not work.

Ah, right...

I've managed to dig out the FAQ page for BBCode as used on this site (here, for reference (https://forums.giantitp.com/misc.php?do=bbcode)), and it doesn't look like they support the color attribute for highlight. It seems that your workaround is the best that you are going to get.

Alright then, thank you.
