I would like to be able to set a background color to a specifik text element.

I think it would be a good possibility to highlight parts of the text.

I'm attaching two images with examples of what I mean.

This is similar to that quote style in storymap themes where text is overlaid on a rectangle filled with color.

Have you tried that quote style?

Thanks for the tip, I have tried that quote style, but I want more alternatives for highlighting parts of the text.
I want to use the quotes for actual quotes, and still be able to set backgroud color on text that can be both small or large paragraph or lists etc.

Hi @OwenGeo, are there any updates on this feature request? It would be helpful for my organization as well.

@Blihack @MattiasEkström -- I'm not sure if this would meet your use cases, but the recently released template feature has an "instruction" block that has a background color. Would this work?

@OwenGeo  I assume you mean if we had an equivalent block in ordinary Stories that actually shows in the published story? In that case it could meet our use case, but I would like to be able remove or config the "i-symbol" in the corner and be able to use at least a couple of different background colors.
