Optionally hightlight words that have been detected in text

[otacke]

• Add boolean option to semantics
• Add logic to highlight on check (will require to deviate from text input)
• Add logic to unhighlight on uncheck

Hi otacke, your essay template is fantastic. I am a teacher/ researcher who has used it (slightly differently to its intended purpose) to find phrases in texts - you can see what I mean here: https://h5p.org/node/438388. It would be absolutely great to add the functionality of highlighting the phrases in the text. This would save the students having to use ctrl+F to find the phrases after your essay template has found them, and then I could call it a 'bundle highlighter' rather than 'bundle finder'. Is there anyway that I could add this optional functionality easily, i.e. can someone who knows nothing about coding easily add this function? Keep up the great work! James

@jamesadamoflynn If you don't have coding experience, I fear that you might have to put quite some effort into adding this feature. Unfortunately, HTML doesn't allow to highlight text in text input areas, so someone will have to do that in regular text where it should not be thaaat complicated - there are a couple of libraries that could even do that for you.

Hmmm, yes this already sounds too complicated for me. I thought maybe there might be someway of doing it through the H5P interface on Wordpress, but it sounds like that is not the case. Thank you for getting back to me anyway!
