I\'m trying to produce a highlighted text effect with a bit of padding, but the padding is only applied to the beginning and end, not new lines.
#highlight {
In case anyone is still looking for an answer:
p { box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 5px yellow; display: inline; line-height: 2; margin: -5px -5px; background-color: yellow; border-radius: 1px; }
See jsfiddle here.
