How do you make a slanted highlighter on a text block?

[Niels_Koelmeyer (Niels Koel)]

Hi

I’m trying to achieve text highlighter effect on a piece of text like in this screen shot

So far, I’ve been using spans. I can apply an appropriate background color to the piece of text I want to highlight. However, I can’t figure out how to achieve the slant/tilt of the color. Been trying to apply skew to the span but it has no effect.

Does anybody know how I might achieve a slanted highlighter effect?

Thanks@

I would just duplicate your angle Div (purple skew) behind the Text Span? Just set your Zs accordingly.
