object for them, registering this highlight in the HighlightRegistry
, and finally styling the text ranges using the ::highlight()
pseudo-element.
js
const parentNode = document.getElementById("foo");
const range1 = new Range();
range1.setStart(parentNode, 10);
range1.setEnd(parentNode, 20);
const range2 = new Range();
range2.setStart(parentNode, 40);
range2.setEnd(parentNode, 60);
const myCustomHighlight = new Highlight(range1, range2);
CSS.highlights.set("my-custom-highlight", myCustomHighlight);
css
::highlight(my-custom-highlight) {
background-color: yellow;
