Experimental features are not included in the built-in DOM

My understanding is the Custom Highlights API has left the experimental stage, with only Firefox for desktop and Android lacking support for it in their respective official versions. Are there any plans to add it to the DOM definitions?

[Micka33]

Looking for it as well.

Is there anyway to get it working until it is officially supported?

[Kreash]

You can create a d.ts file for you project

declare class Highlight {
  constructor(...range: Range[]);
}

declare namespace CSS {
  var highlights: Map<string, Highlight>;
}

@RyanCavanaugh I guess this issue should be reopened, as this API has really good support in browsers now.
