    1. Highlight text using the Block Editor \ud83e\uddf1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    It can be hard to spot, but the Block Editor<\/a> offers a simple feature for highlighting text. To find it, you’ll need to select a block of text or part of it. Once you do, look for the downward-pointing arrow icon in the formatting menu that appears next to the block and click on it. The Highlight <\/em><\/strong>option should be the first in the menu:<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Selecting<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

    When you click on highlight<\/strong><\/em>, you’ll be able to choose both the color of the text and its background. That means you can create different highlight combinations:<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"How<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

    There is a possibility to choose colors from the selection at the bottom of the menu or click on the color picker tool. The tool works with hex codes and it enables you to choose from any color in the spectrum:<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Hex<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

    After you select a color for the letters, repeat the same process for the background. Here’s what the result looks like using the classic black letters on a yellow background highlight:<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"An<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

    Note that you need to pick the words you want to highlight within a block. If you don’t select any part of the text, the highlight won’t apply.<\/p>\n\n\n
