CSS: Background-color on multi-line text?

Question

Do you have an idea to add a \"background-color\" property on a multi-line text, with two difficulties:

• Background must stop after the last word of each line

Answer 1

The box-shadow solution as shown by @gabitzish stopped working properly in IE11 and FF34+ (released 09-2014).

You can add box-decoration-break:clone; to make it work in IE11 and FF34+ too:

p {
    display: inline;
    padding: 0.5em 0em;
    background-color: #FFAA3B;
    box-shadow: 1em 0 0 #FFAA3B, -1em 0 0 #FFAA3B;
    box-decoration-break: clone;
}

Works in Webkit, Firefox, IE9+ with proper prefixes.
