This is a simple bbcode to highlight text with a yellow box. You can of course change the color to your needs.

This has been confirmed working in the latest releases of IE, FF, Chrome, Safari, and Opera.

Demo: here.

Add a new BBCode

Title: Highlight
BB Code Tag Name: hl

Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Example: [hl]This is a highlight test[/hl]
Description: This highlights selected text.
Use Option: No

The above implementation fixes the color of the highlight at yellow and the text black for easy use. If you prefer you may also install it with a variable highlight color. If you prefer to have the user choose the highlight color then instead add the following:
