My question actually has two parts:

1- How can I create a gray background for a paragraph like this using latex?

Lorem ipsum
Lorem ipsum
Lorem ipsum
Lorem ipsum

2- How can I highlight just a little part of the text like this using latex?

Lorem ipsum Lorem ipsum Lorem ipsum Lorem ipsum Lorem ipsum.

Edit 1: Markdown package got recommended to me below but below package does not use block quotes or highlights. Is it possible to use them with markdown package and if it is how?

Edit 2: I am now able to create gray background blocks using tcolorbox but I stil cannot highlight small groups of texts(1 or 2 words)(2. question still unanswered)

  • Sorry that doesn't help. Is there a link where they use block quotes and highlights with markdown package. I tried it like markdown after adding markdown package with (`) symbols but it did not work. – Ersel Hengirmen Aug 26 '21 at 01:24
  • Markdown is written in pure text editors. I just ask, after you process markdown, in which format and with which instructions you get a gray background on some text? Can you clarify? – djnavas Aug 26 '21 at 02:02
  • It answers my 1st question but It doesnt help me on the 2nd question. @PhelypeOleinik – Ersel Hengirmen Aug 26 '21 at 02:24
  • @djnavas. I was able to create gray backgrounds for entire paragraphs using tcolorbox. But I am not able to create gray background(highlight) for a word or 2. like I did in this comment for highlighting tcolorbox using latex. – Ersel Hengirmen Aug 26 '21 at 02:32
  • @ErselHengirmen Try \tcbox{some highlighted text} – Phelype Oleinik Aug 26 '21 at 02:37

    I am not that much familliar with markdown package, but if you use only latex, there are 3 ways to get text highlighting as you want: Packages soul, or lua-ul or drawing highlighted regions with tikz. From my point of view, the easiest is to use lua-ul. – Tomáš Kruliš Aug 26 '21 at 06:37
