## SelectionHighlight
Mixin which applies standard highlight colors to a selected item.

This mixin highlights textual items (e.g., in a list) in a standard way by
using the CSS `highlight` and `highlighttext` color values. These values
respect operating system defaults and user preferences, and hence are good
default values for highlight colors.

This mixin expects an `applySelection` method to be called on an item when
its selected state changes. You can use the
[ItemsSelection](ItemsSelection.md) mixin for that purpose.
