Highlight eBook Text using background-color
The CSS code can be added to your external or internal stylesheet. Works with iPad, Kindle Fire, Nook Color; does not display on older Kindles (1,2,3).
background-color: Define the color. See HTML Colors from W3Schools.com
padding: Adding padding adds a space between the text and the edge of the color background. I am using 1em, but you can increase or decrease to your design tastes.
margin-top and margin-bottom: This adds space between the background color and the text above and below.
CSS Code
div.background {
background-color:#ffff00;
padding: 1em 1em 1em 1em;
margin-top:1em;
margin-bottom:1em;
}
HTML Application
<div class=”background”>
<p>Text you want in color</p>
</div>
