      background-color: lightgreen;
      font-weight: bold;
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Hello world! Say hello again.</p>
  <script src="highlightWords.js"></script>
  <script>
    highlightWords(['hello', 'world'], 'custom-highlight');
  </script>
</body>
</html>

Notes:

Default Class: If you call highlightWords(['hello']), it uses the default highlight class.
Custom Styling: Define the CSS for your highlightClass (e.g., .custom-highlight) to style the highlighted text.
Single Highlighting: The XPath ensures that text already inside a with the specified highlightClass is skipped, so words are highlighted only once, even if the function is called multiple times with the same or different classes.
Class Name Safety: The function assumes highlightClass is a valid CSS class name. Avoid spaces or special characters unless they’re valid in CSS.
