To highlight the first sentence of the paragraph in the text box, you can use CSS styles. Here's an example:
HTML```html
This is the first sentence.
This is the second sentence.
```
CSS```css
p:first-of-type {
background-color: yellow;
}
```
This CSS will apply a yellow background color to the first paragraph in the text box, highlighting the first sentence.
You can also use JavaScript to highlight the first sentence. Here's an example:
HTML```html
This is the first sentence.
This is the second sentence.
```
JavaScript```javascript
document.getElementById("first-sentence").style.backgroundColor = "yellow";
```
This JavaScript code will find the element with the ID "first-sentence" (which is the first paragraph) and set its background color to yellow, highlighting the first sentence.
