TIL - mark

From series - Today I learned. There is a tag in HTML that helps us highlight stuff just using it. And too many times I have used spans with a highlight class, Damn it!

Let's look at what the mark tag brings in and how to use it.

<p>This is a long text that I want you to look very <mark>closely</mark> at</p>

Just embed mark where you want the highlight and you are good to go.

Where do we use this?

1. Do you want to highlight the most relevant parts of a paragraph? Use mark.
2. Do you want to highlight the term user searched for? Use mark
3. Want to try syntax highlighting? Don't do mark, Use a library.
4. Want to highlight the most important part in a paragraph? Don't use mark, use strong.
