jQuery Text Editor Font Background

Question

I'm using jQuery Text Editor, but I couldn't find a way to change the selected text background. Does anyone know how to do it?

Sorry guy for the late reply...I didn't explain correctly what I want. I want to highlight a text, with jqte there's a button to change the text color, I need another button to highlight the text. — adolfotcar, Aug 28 '14 at 10:09

the other answers seem to be about what color shows up as you highlight text.

jqte doesn't seem to actually have a simple way to change highlighting/the text background! The best bet I've found is using source/html view and manually adding:

<span style="background-color: yellow;">highlighted text</span>
