The idea is simple - run Highlight.js in a hidden WebView and convert the output to native AnnotatedString.

The default focus indicator on Android? A ripple so subtle it's almost invisible.

For users navigating with a keyboard or D-pad, that's a real problem, because they need to know where focus is at all times.
