Allows the use of all the basic textual highlighting elements in HTML.

str—The string or array of strings to be highlighted.

tag—The highlighting tag or array of tags. If tag is scalar but str is a list of strings, then tag is applied around each of the items in str. If tag is an array, it must be the same length as str. This parameter is the string inside the HTML angle brackets: e.g., B elicits <B>...</B> (for boldfacing).

Safe—Handles HTML special characters (see HTML_SAFE).

html_text—String (array) of HTML text tagged with highlighting tags.

HTML_HIGHTLIGHT supports both physical (e.g., ‘U’, ‘B’, etc.) and logical (e.g., ‘CITE’, ‘CODE’, etc.) text highlighting. The flexibility of the function also allows you to take advantage of any extension to standard formatting used by a particular browser.
