    Hello there!
    I tried using rich text, what i wanted to achive is green text with yellow highlight
    "<mark=#FF8800><color=green>letter</color></mark>";

    so i tried doing something like this ^
    But letters are invisible, only highlight is visible.

    Any ideas whats wrong?

    With TextMeshPro, the mark tag draws the text first and then the "highlight" color. If you highlight is not transparent, it will cover the text. You need to add transparency to your # code.

    Thanks.

    Thats pretty stupid to be honest. Highlight should be draw first, then text

    I know the TMP guy mentioned why it was like that and explained why he couldn't change it. I agree it's an odd design flaw in my opinion. We ended up going with a different design instead to get a better effect as the highlight being on top of the text doesn't allow the text to be as clear.
