Control vertical placement of tikz picture in text

Question

I'm doing something like this:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\newcommand{\ccor}[1]{%
    \tikz[remember picture]{%
        \nodefill=black!20,anchor=base{#1};%
    }%
}
\begin{document}
    write some text with \ccor{color background}.
\end{document}

and I'm just wondering if there is a way of lowering the picture a little so that the text is all aligned.

Do you agree that the answers here solve your problem? How to add a small rounded rectangle around a word inline — AndréC, Jul 02 '20 at 13:05

I think the baseline option is better as follows --

\tikz[remember picture,
      baseline=(color.base)%<-----------------------added
     ]

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\newcommand{\ccor}[1]{%
    \tikz[remember picture,baseline=(color.base)]{%
        \nodefill=black!20,anchor=base{#1};%
    }%
}
\begin{document}
write some text with \ccor{color background}.

\end{document}

I've changed the command to:

\newcommand{\ccor}[1]{%
    \tikzmarknode{pos}{\vphantom{AA}}
    \tikz[remember picture,overlay]{%
        \node[fill=facebook!20,anchor=west](codigo)at (pos.west){\texttt{#1}};
        }
    \sbox0{\hphantom{#1}}
    \hspace{\wd0}
    }

and the result is satisfactory.
