Highlight text, one right-click away

Gradient text with a running highlight is now a right-click in the page editor: select the words and Wrap in › Highlight text.

Highlighted text - words drawn in a colour gradient, with a light that runs through them as the pointer passes - is now one right-click away in the page editor.

Highlight a few words

Select the words, right-click and choose Wrap in… › Highlight text. The dialog opens with the Sunset gradient and a pointer-following shine already chosen, and the preview shows the colours as you change them. Pick another gradient - Ocean, Forest, Fire, Candy or your theme's own - or let the shine sweep across by itself.

Nothing selected? Insert… › Content › Highlight text does the same with sample words to type over.

One click on a tag you already have

Right-click any [text] tag and you will find:

  • Highlight - gradient with a shine
  • Highlight that sweeps by itself
  • Light up as you read - the words start dim and light up as the visitor scrolls down
  • Rise in word by word
  • Plain - to take it all off again
