We anticipate prototyping will help inform the answer to this question. Other open questions are tracked in the [explainer repo](https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/MSEdgeExplainers/labels/CustomHighlightAPIExtensions). ### You should also know that... This extends CSS Custom Highlight API Level 1, which the TAG reviewed in #584. We'd particularly welcome input on `getRangeStyle()` versus `range-index()`. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/1304 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
