Summary

The HTML Mark Element (<mark>) represents highlighted text, i.e., a run of text marked for reference purpose, due to its relevance in a particular context. For example it can be used in a page showing search results to highlight every instance of the searched-for word.

Usage notes:

  • In a quotation or another block, the highlighted text typically marks text that is referenced outside the quote, or marked for specific scrutiny even though the original author didn't consider it important.
  • In the main text, the highlighted text typically marks text that may be of special relevance for the user's current activity, like search results.
  • Do not use the <mark> element for syntax highlighting; use the <span> element for this purpose.
  • Do not confuse the <mark> element with the <strong> element. The <strong> element is used to denote spans of text of importance in context of the text, when the <mark> element is used to denote spans of text of relevance to a different context.
