Hi Stephen,
How about a *<<hilite>>* macro, something like this...
\define hilite(text, color)
@@background-color:$color$; $text$ @@
\end
I like to put a space before and after highlighted text, so you can really
see the background. You could probably fiddle with this, and move $color$
into the macro itself, rather than as a parameter.
Hope this helps,
Hegart.
