I want to change the background color of like a paragraph worth of text.How do I do this.
I have already tried:
Code: Select all
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
%----- Colors -----
\usepackage[dvips]{color}
\begin{document}
\fcolorbox{red}{yellow}{
A "hidden" language spoken by only about 1,000 people has \\
been discovered in the remote northeast corner of India by \\
researchers who at first thought they were documenting a dialect\\
of the Aka culture, a tribal community in the foothills of the\\
Himalayas.}
\fcolorbox{red}{yellow}{text}
\colorbox{yellow}{

\end{document}
Both \fcolorbox{framecolor}{backgroundcolor}{text} and \colorbox{backgroundcolor}{text} do not work; The text continues off the screen.
