Background color for text (only)

Question

I am wondering if it's posible to achieve this:

I mean, applying the background color just to the text instead of the whole block,

ej

<h1>WELLCOME TO RENTAL IN MALLORCA BEATYFULL COLLECTION OF APPARTMENTS</h1>

Is there a (cross browser, if possible) way to do this?

Answer 1

Yes. Add a <span> inside the <h1>, and apply the background colour and a line-height to it.

h1 {
  width: 250px
}

h1>span {
  background-color: yellow;
  line-height: 2
}

<h1><span>Testing, testing, this is a really long piece of text blah blah blah Hi there!</span></h1>
