how to highlight the background of my current paragraph?

2019-10-31 Thread Sharon Kimble
How can I set the background of my current paragraph to 'dark gray', i.e. to highlight it, and the highlighting to follow whichever paragraph I'm currently viewing/writing please? I've been googling it but haven't found anything suitable so far. Thanks Sharon. -- A taste of linux = http://www.s

I use =global-hl-line-mode= from the hl-line package. Highlights only the current line, but I find it quite useful. Here's what I have in my config: (use-package hl-line :defer nil :config (global-hl-line-mode)) Since I use =visual-line-mode= as well in my org documents, the effect is
