CSS Highlighter Pen Effect

Effect 

We are going to create an effect to highlight a section of text, to look as if it were gone over with a yellow highlighter pen.

Example

This sentence is important, so it needs to be highlighted. 

How it's done.

We are going to use an inline style in a <span> tag.  The css we use is background:#FFFF00 .  With the style atribute,  we just  put  the the css in the span tag like this:

<span style="background:#FFFF00">This sentence is important, so it needs to be highlighted.</span>

That's all there is to it. Insted of underlining, use this css for more attention.
