Text Formatting

Hello,

How can I highlight (i.e. change the text background colour) of text which contains nested latex commands (such as text formatting or citations)?

The soul package cannot highlight nested commands and the \colorbox command cannot wrap text.

Thank you,

Richard

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Hi,

perhaps the shaded environment provided by the framed package could be useful for you.

Thanks! That's brilliant!

The only more I could ask for is to be able to highlight half of the text in a paragraph (i.e. not the entire paragraph), but I suppose that's not possible...?
