I have an epub text with code like:

Code:

Hello, my name is <span class="docEmphMark">Ben</span>.

in epub readers, the word Ben is highlighted. ( i've used bold in this post for simplicity )

Hello, my name is Ben.

but when calibre converts to mobi all highlighting is lost

e.g. that line then reads as:
Hello, my name is Ben.

is this a bug, a config issue or a mobi limitation ?

exploding epub & looking at css: docemphmark is defined with background-color: #999

Code:

.docEmphMark {
    background-color: #999
    }

so is that an unsupported mobi function. what could I edit that bit of the CSS to, so that mobi would display as intended ?
