FNC grid and HTML rendering of highlighted text in Web Core context

Yesterday I struggled with the highlighting feature of the FNC grid in the Web Core context. Though I succeeded in adding hi tags to a cell's text, I failed in styling the highlighted text with a certain background and font color.

Wouldn't it be possible to either

  • support two attributes for the hi-tag to set these colors or even better
  • use a div or span tag with a class attribute instead of the hi tag, skip the FNC grid's HTML rendering engine completely and pass the cell's HTML text directly to the browser. In this case, I could define a CSS class in my Web application's global .css file to render highlighted text.

That's a good suggestion, we'll investigate the possibilities.
