Syntax (autogenerated)

\definehighlight[...][...][...=...,...]

...=...,...inherits from \setuphighlight


Description

Highlights are a generic facility for defining and maintaining different emphases.

Highlights are respected by the XML export (see \setupbackend), resulting in a tag highlight, with the respective names as argument to the attribute detail.

When converting from font switches (as {\bf text} to defined highlights, be sure to convert the syntax to command syntax ( \important{text} ).

Example

\definehighlight [important]       [style=bold] %% define a highlight
\definehighlight [reallyimportant] [important]  %% inherit setups
\setuphighlight  [reallyimportant] [color=red]  %% modify the copy
\starttext
This \important{you} need to know.\par
This, however, \reallyimportant{everybody} needs to know!
\stoptext
