What would the highlight button do @denvergeeks ? Can you give me an example of when you’d use it?

@JammyDodger - I use Discourse for a variety of different use-cases. For me Discourse is a toolset for building information “containers”. I host my own 10 private (for now, and growing) instances for my various creative projects and collaborations. Each one is a unique workspace for something I’m …

Ah, so you’re looking to highlight the selected text within the posts (rather than quote it with highlight prefilled in the composer). Sort of like a targeted staff-colour style concept?
