Yeah but that's in the figurative sense (in a discussion, one would "highlight"
a given fact).

Maybe kde-doc-english can help on this issue...

OK.

Nice! But maybe it should simply be under the tabwidget, i.e. only one
preview widget instead of one per tab. That would avoid the visual effect
of the preview area "jumping around" when switching tabs, and it would make
it clear that the formatting of the text in the preview follows the settings
of _all_ tabs, not just the current one.

Thanks for your work.
