I'm trying to set a colored background for some definitions in my document (course notes and I want to get the effect of using a marker to highlight some things).
using the package xcolor and the \colorbox{gray!30}{text} inside the definition mostly achieves the desired effect, although it fails if I have nested environments definition: \colorbox{gray}{ blah balh enumerate: 1. text 2. text \end enumerate } \end definition throws errors (this is not the actual latex ...) it says, something wrong, perhaps missing \item Is there a good way to achieve this? Thanks
