Highlighted phrases

The HP (highlighted phrase) tag provides emphasis through highlighting. You can focus the user's attention to particular sections of the panel text by highlighting words, phrases, or entire paragraphs.

The HP tag requires a matching end tag to indicate the end of a highlighted phrase.

This markup example shows the use of the HP tag:
