Highlight Format — User Guide

Our Highlight Format extension enhances the existing Gutenberg Highlight (background-color) feature by letting you add:

• Padding around highlighted text
• Border radius for rounded highlight shapes
• Support for different units (px, em, %, …)
• Independent values for each side (top / right / bottom / left)

This lets you create more visually appealing highlights, such as pill-shaped markers, rounded labels, or emphasized badges inside text content—all using standard RichText formatting.
