Blog Post Shading box

Hi dbrobst,

In your post, switch to the HTML editor tab. Open a span tag just before the text you want to highlight, then close the span tag just after that text. So for example:

Here's my text in the HTML view and <span style="background-color:yellow">here is what I want to highlight</span> in that text.

This will add a yellow background to the text between the span tags. You can change that color if you want to use something other than yellow.

Hope this helps!

Hi dbrobst,

If I understand correctly, you want to add an actual box outline around the highlighted text, not just a highlighted background. If that is correct, you can add a border to the span tag:

So, your new code would look something like this:

Here’s my text in the HTML view and <span style=”background-color:yellow;border-style:outset;”>here is what I want to highlight</span> in that text.

I had a little issue with mine, so if you don’t see the border, try adding border-width to your CSS like this:

Here’s my text in the HTML view and <span style=”background-color:yellow;border-style:outset;border-width:4px”>here is what I want to highlight</span> in that text.

Adjust the border style, width and color as you like.

Hope this helps!
