<mark>Highlighted text!!</mark>/* Now supported by all major browsers */
::selection {
background-color: #000 /* Selection highight color */
color: #FFF /* Optional colour change of text that is being selected */
}/*Term: css text highlight*/

know only supported by Google Chrome so far. This is not
a problem though, since other browsers will simply keep
the regular highliting styles.*/
