To highlight a paragraph we are going to follow almost the same steps like in highlighting specific words (previous page).

Step 1: Go to your text editor and find the paragraph that you wish to highlight.

Step 2: We are going to embed the paragraph in p tags, that looks like this : <p>..........</p>

Note: Your paragraph may already be inside of p tags. In that case you can skip this step

Step 3: Inside of our p tag we willadd the exact same code like in the previous page:
style="background-color: #ff8080;"

So, our code will now look like this:

This code will give this result:

Well it's not quite what you were imaging, was it?

This doesn't look so good because the border of the color is exactly where the border of the text is.

To fix that, we are going to add some padding.

Step 4: The code for adding some padding is this: padding: 10px;

So, our code will now look like this:

By changing the number 10 you can determine how big the padding will be.

And we're done !!
