any clues how to make ONLY THIS have a yellow background? just behind the text...

Well it depends, if you only want to highlight a bit of text then this will do:<span style="background-color:#ffff00;">Some text.</span>If you want to highlight lots of snippets then perhaps something like this:.highlight{
background-color:#ffff00;
}

<span class="highlight">Some text.</span>

<span class="highlight">Some other text.</span>But if you want to highlight whole sections of text then apply the background colour or class to the containing element.
