My 2 cents only here ...
I tend to agree with you that having a background colour is perhaps too intrusive, but I was trying initially to stay away from colouring the text to make it stand out so the effect would not be lost on an eReader.

I'm not sure about shrinking the font size more than it was as, although it would enhance the difference, it might make it harder to read.

Perhaps, as you suggest, a slight increase might be all that's needed.

Font-size increaded to 1.1em:
Code:
span.menuitem {
    font-family: monotype, courier, sans-serif;
    font-size: 1.1em;
	font-weight: bold;
	}

Font-size increased to 1.1em and italicised:
Code:
span.menuitem {
    font-family: monotype, courier, sans-serif;
    font-size: 1.1em;
	font-weight: bold;
	font-style: italic;
	}
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/at...1&d=1614330220

Of these two options I think I prefer the first. Increasing the font size by two points and making it bold is probably all it needs to make it stand out from the surrounding text.

What do others think?
