I think I might like having a custom tag (<x-mark pink>like this</x-mark>) rather than a function ${marked("like this", "pink")} but it's pretty similar. The component has the downside that I don't think there's any way to "de-register" the name, so once it's defined it takes a hard refresh to change it.

mark.pink {
--color: rgb(255,0,170);
