 # Mark
+
+Markeert een fragment tekst met een gele achtergrond.
+Het zorgt voor sterke nadruk op de tekst en leidt de aandacht ernaartoe.
+
+## Richtlijnen
+
+### Zo gebruiken
+
+- Maximaal 1 markering per pagina.
+  De voorkeur is geen markering.
+- Maximaal 1 zin.
+
+### Dit vermijden
+
+- Niet in de titel en subtitels gebruiken.
+  Zorg voor een belangrijke, pakkende titel als de hele paragraaf belangrijk is.
+- Mag niet voor een hele paragraaf gebruikt worden.
