[Tex/LaTex] Change text background within paragraph (with automatic linebreaks)

backgroundscolorline-breakingparagraphs

How do I change the text color as well as the text background color for e.g. a sentence within a paragraph? I know \textcolor for coloring the font and \colorbox for background coloring [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Colors]. Unfortunately \colorbox will not perform a linebreak. Is there any solution for that?

I want to make MY changes in a PDF document visible for review. I know some other approaches like diffpdf, oder pdftotext and then diff.. But I thought this should be an easy task.

Thanks for your comments.

Edit: Hm, appetite comes with eating: Unfortunately the \hl command from soul and all other approaches I saw does not regard whole environments like itemize, tabular. So I don't want to highlight all text inside them separately. Do you see any way around this problem?

Thanks again.

I think this question about highlighting in LaTeX is what you are looking for.

To use the courier font use,

 \renewcommand\ttdefault{pcr}

To define a code environment you can use the listings package.

 \documentclass{book}
%\usepackage[scaled=O.85]{luximono}
\usepackage{xcolor,listings}
\definecolor{theblue} {rgb}{0.02,0.04,0.48}
\definecolor{thered}  {rgb}{0.65,0.04,0.07}
\definecolor{thegreen}{rgb}{0.06,0.44,0.08}
\definecolor{thegrey} {gray}{0.5}
\definecolor{theshade}{gray}{0.94}
\definecolor{theframe}{gray}{0.75}

\renewcommand\ttdefault{pcr}

\lstloadlanguages{[LaTeX]TeX, [primitive]TeX}

\lstnewenvironment{code}[1][]
  {\lstset{language=[LaTeX]TeX}\lstset{%
      escapeinside={{(*@}{@*)}},
      breaklines=true,
      framesep=5pt,
      basicstyle=\ttfamily,
      showstringspaces=false,
      keywordstyle=\ttfamily\textcolor{thegreen},
      stringstyle=\color{orange},
       commentstyle=\color{black},
       rulecolor=\color{gray!10},
      breakatwhitespace=true,
      showspaces=false,  % shows spacing symbol
       xleftmargin=0pt,
       xrightmargin=5pt,
       aboveskip=0pt, % compact the code looks ugly in type
       belowskip=0pt,  % user responsible to insert any skips
      backgroundcolor=\color{gray!15}, #1
}}
{}

[Tex/LaTex] change pdf standard background color

Given Adobe's appalling record as a proxy for malware, I'd suggest switching your PDF viewer.

Should you decide to do this, and move to PDF XChange Viewer from Tracker Software, then in the preferences dialogue, on the Customize[sic] UI tab, you can select the background colour you want, with or without a gradient (God forbid!).
