The mark tag
The mark
tag marks text as highlighted. Such text is no different from ordinary text, but its appearance can be changed using CSS.
Unlike the strong
and em
tags, which are intended to indicate the importance of the text, the mark
tag is necessary to designate specific parts of the text that the user is currently working with and that are important to him at the moment.
In Chrome and Firefox browsers, the background color of the text inside mark
is highlighted with a yellow background (this can be disabled using the CSS property background-color
).
Example
