How to highlight text? #626

Open nashid opened 4 years ago

nashid commented 4 years ago

I am trying to highlight a segment of text. As an example:

BugSwarm: mining and continuously growing a dataset of reproducible failures and fixes
Tomassi  et al.
ICSE 2019

However, remark is bolding out tokens like and, of. I presume somehow it is considering those as javascript token.

Is there a way just to create a textbox with some highlighting.

The way I would highlight a block of text is to make it a quote in markdown.

> BugSwarm: mining and ...

This will become a blockquote in HTML, which can be styled with CSS. For example

blockquote {
    border-left-style: solid;
    border-left-width: 5px;
    border-left-color: gray;
    background-color: #F2F3F4;
    padding-left: 2em;
    padding-right: 2em;
}

Does this answer your question?
