Can anyone tell me how to highlight text (like a yellow highlighter) in WP?
I thought there was a way to do this from the toolbar in the edit post area but can't locate it.
Thanks.

    You could use a span style on the word. Just make sure you're in HTML editing mode while editing the post. For Example:
    Code:
    <span style="background-color:#FFFF00">Highlighted Text</span>
    This will show up as text with a yellow background, making it look like highlighted text.

    I don't think there is a "native" solution for it.

    The method used on other html pages should work on WP, too:

    <span class="yellow">text text text</span>

    and in the CSS (style.css)
    .yellow {
    background: #ff0;
    }

    That's the correct way to do it.
    This might also work:

    <span style="background:#ff0;">text text text</span>

        It's called IM YELL. It just becomes another option on the post editor toolbar. You select the text and click on the button. Can highlight with an assortment of colors.

    There shouldn't be a plugin for something that simple

    Those are my favourite examples when NOT to use a plugin just to slow down your blog...

      Why, why, why would you resort to a plugin for such a simple task?

      Add the code as provided by Istvan to your CSS stylesheet(s), and you will achieve the highlighting you require WITHOUT weighing your blog down with yet another resource hogging plugin.

    TinyMCE Advanced has the option to add a text highlighter,I never use that option but I know there is one available.

    In WP you can highlight the text by editing the properties of the page. You can go in Control panel and edit the page properties.
