Do you mean the selection of text or something else? – BIlal Khan Sep 06 '16 at 12:21

@Rayon how can I add a class to the `::selection` element? The answer from the 'duplicate' question doesn't seem to be applicable here... – Peter Gordon Sep 06 '16 at 13:10

@BIlalKhan yes, the CSS `::selection` selector. Obviously I can't give this a class as the 'duplicate' suggests as it isn't an actual element. – Peter Gordon Sep 06 '16 at 13:35
