Represents an HTML <mark> (marked/highlighted text) element.

The <mark> element represents text that has been marked or highlighted for reference or notation purposes.

Browsers typically render marked text with a yellow background color.

  • Marks text as highlighted or notable
  • Typically rendered with yellow background
  • Used for search results, important passages, and matches
  • Conveys semantic importance in context

Usage:


 // Highlight a search term

 paragraph.addText("This is a ");
 paragraph.addElement(new Mark("highlighted"));
 paragraph.addText(" word in the sentence.");

 // Mark important information
 P note = new P();
 note.addElement(new Mark("Important:"));
 note.addText(" This information requires attention.");
