Free Online HTML Mark Text Generator

The <mark> element represents a run of text marked or highlighted for reference, like a search match. This generator builds a ready-to-paste <mark> snippet: type your text, adjust the attributes below, and copy the live-updating HTML. The preview on the right renders the exact markup you copy, so you can confirm it looks right before pasting it into your page.

Attributes you can set

  • Text — the content placed between the opening and closing <mark> tags. Special characters (<, >, &, ") are escaped automatically so the output is always valid HTML.

When to use <mark>

Reach for <mark> for highlighting search results, quoted keywords, or a changed word inside a larger paragraph. Using the correct semantic tag (instead of styling plain text with CSS) matters for accessibility: screen readers can announce the element differently, and search engines use it to understand the structure of your content.

If <mark> isn't quite what you need, consider (importance) and (emphasis), neither of which implies a highlight. Mixing semantic tags correctly keeps your HTML meaningful instead of just visually styled, which helps both accessibility tools and SEO.

Browser support

<mark> is part of the HTML5 specification and is supported by every modern browser without any JavaScript or polyfill. The generated snippet works as-is in any HTML document.
