# v2.2.5 – shortcode [highlight] does not work

 * I love the theme Hueman and use the version 2.2.5, downloaded from gridhub (so
   i think, fullfeatured).
 * Now i want to use the shortcode highlight for the first time. But as a result
   i only see “dotted lines”. Other shortcodes like dropcap and columns work fine.
   
   Please have a look at [http://www.amsterdamer-kroepfer.de/musterbeschreibung-amsterdamer-kroepfer/](http://www.amsterdamer-kroepfer.de/musterbeschreibung-amsterdamer-kroepfer/)
 * Thanks for your support!

 * Hi weyck. What you’re seeing is the default theme CSS style:
 *     ```
       /*  shortcode : highlights
       /* ------------------------------------ */
       .highlight { color: #222; border-bottom: 1px dotted #222; }
       ```
   
 * If you wanted to change it to appear more like a yellow highlight, you could 
   add this to your custom css:
 *     ```
       .highlight {
           border-bottom: none;
           background: #ff0;
       }
       ```

 * Thanks (again!)
    That was my fault, i suspected another Layout behind [highlights]
   Now it works fine.
 * But please, another question:
 * This Theme HUEMAN supports a CSS Design for “tables”…I want to use this Layout
   for my tables, as a default. But for one special table i want to use another 
   layout. Can you tell me how to? Like “table_special1”?
    Thanks!

 * That’s a different question not really related to this topic. It would be best
   if you start a new topic so other users will be able to find the issue (and hopefully
   the fix) by the topic title. If you don’t have any further questions on this 
   topic please mark it as Resolved. Thanks.
