I want to use the HTML code <mark> in the newsletter and still be able to edit the draft page in VisualEditor. Right now, adding <mark> produces nowiki tags, and opening a page with <mark> already on it prevents editing the marked text (alienated content).

Will this only allow marking the text in yellow?
(In reply to Elitre from comment #3) > Will this only allow marking the text in yellow? It will mark the text with <mark>. It's up to users' browsers to decide how to show it as marked, but yes, all major browsers ape the neon-lemon-yellow highlighter colour to show this currently.
I'm unhappy. I demand the ability to pick my favorite color when highlighting.

No! Google Docs allows highlighting text in the color I want. Please make that happen somehow?

I had seen that, but given that it didn't mention the word "text" and that elsewhere you were so strongly against the idea, I had to assume it was actually about the page color. The ability to set a text background in whatever color we want (#FC0FC0, in my case) will IMHO make using <mark> unnecessary.
