      Since December 2024, this feature works across the latest devices and browser versions. This feature might not work in older devices or browsers.
The ::target-text CSS pseudo-element represents the text that has been scrolled to if the browser supports text fragments. It allows authors to choose how to highlight that section of text.
The ::target-text pseudo-element follows a special inheritance model common to all highlight pseudo-elements. For more details on how this inheritance works, see the Highlight pseudo-elements inheritance section.
