Using Highlights - adding colours

06.01.2018, 16:51

Using highlights to colour text.
I am using both codes and highlights to encode segments of text. With a specific meaning attached to when a word is highlighted rather than or in addition to coded. I have already assigned the 5 highlight colours - can I/ how do I add more custom colours to highlights?
Thanks for any tips.

Dear FeMacD,
welcome to the MAXQDA Forum! You can't create more highlighters with custom colors in exactly the same way, but you could create a new "Custom Highligters"-code and use it in almost the same way that you used the other highlighters. To do so, simply right-click on the margin area, and select "Color code text". Now only display your new "custom colors code" by activating it and selecting "Only [display] activated codes" in the same context menu.
Kind regards
Andreas

There is a bit of a UI bug here: if I follow the above instructions and then activate another code, that code will be displayed in the margins but the text will not be highlighted until I deselect ""Only [display] activated codes", save, and reactivate "Only [display] activated codes".
