Choosing and integrating this component
PODIE source review ·
Where it fits
Emphasizing a phrase with a drawn annotation. The included Highlighter primitive supports annotation styles such as underline and highlight.
Integration boundary
Editable React source. Use the primitive around the intended phrase and configure the action, color and timing; the packaged demo shows one composition.
Checks before shipping
A visual highlight does not change the semantic importance of text. Check contrast, wrapping and reflow with your actual font.
