And again, hello to everyone! It looks like Figma is a little closer to achieving the goal and is almost releasing the feature we need. Now, pay attention: you can create a text highlighter with just 3 layers. I’ve published an update to my file in Figma Community, adding a highlighter v2 component that uses the new method. You can check out and duplicate the file here: Hacked Auto Layout with Multiline Text Highlighted | File by Yury Zeliankouski.

I found a simple workaround using underline. No components or anything else is needed. You can use one text layer or even create a reusable text style. Select Text: Go to underline details Change settings to: Decoration: Underline Thickness: 120% Offset: -100% Color: 30% Skip ink: Off More techniques, like highlighting with full color instead of transparency, are visible in the file :): Easy Way to Highlight text in figma

Yes absolutely this is a solution for Highlighter. However Control of position for that underline is not possible in current version.
Text sometime not visible as you are overlaying on top. I want output with full contrast color.
