How do I highlight code in Confluence Cloud

Pat D'Ambrosio

Hi!

We have highlighted pieces of code in yellow, but I can't seem to find out how to replicate this inside the codeblock macro.

For example: security validation

security needs to have a background of yellow, while the following word and all surrounding text does not.

Thanks!

What I would suggest is that if you use the "Preformatted" style for the code that you ut in the confluence page, you should be able to use the "annotations" on that text.

Then you will be able to get the Highlighting to work.

The preformatted style does not allow proper indentation. To get this we need the code block and a bit of wrangling... Arghh! Where are the annotations that would highlight this text to be found? I see that the Annotations plug-in is no longer available.

When you view a page, you should be able to highlight a piece of text and a popup will show, that will allow you to start an annotation. Click the chat icon and that will highlight the code, and you can start talking about it.

TY Tony, buOnt I am not talking about entering comments for review.

I am stating this:

I have a piece of code in my code block.

One/more words/lines need to be highlighted in yellow for the user.

?: Can I do this/not in Confluence?

BTW: I don't want to talk about it, I just want to show it
