Hi Michael,

What we are doing is creating an xsl template which we are then generating
as pdf or html (could be either as the user requires) and rendering with
FOP.

I was just wondering if there was some xsl attribute that could be used that
would highlight a section of text.  I understand that the background-color
attribute of fo:inline is what I need, but it isn't implemented in FOP.

If you have any other ideas, I would be grateful.  I would say, however,
that PDF is our primary target.

Thanks

Mark Williams
