Question

How can one get backgroundColor to include leading like text selection?

Is there any way to get a SpanElement's background color to include the leading, rather than just extend from ascent to descent. Like this:

This is some text.

This is another line of text.

OK, so the example above wasn't so great as rendered in browser.  Think more like closed captioning, rather than a highlighter pen.

That functionality isn't part of TLF, because we figured most users would want just the text highlighted, but you can change it to behave as you wish. See FlowLeafElement.updateAdornments(). You can change it to calculate the bounds differently, or to do a stroke instead of fill (see FlowLeafElement.updateAdornmentsOnBounds()).

Thanks for the response. I'll give that a try.
