When highlighting text using Style and Background, as in Style["Test ", White, Background -> Lighter@Blue] is there a way to pad (ie, enlarge) the bounding box?
The bottom of the background seems coincident with the base of the text:

Style[Pane[" Test "], White, Background -> Lighter@Blue]
Edit
Controlling the padding:
Style[Pane[" Test ", ImageMargins -> 10], White, Background -> Lighter@Blue]

$\begingroup$ Ok that works. But is there no way to parametrically control size? (Other than rendering an independent Rectangle) $\endgroup$ Jul 21, 2012 at 19:22

You could play with the FrameMargins ...
Framed[Style["Test", White], FrameStyle -> None, FrameMargins -> 2,
Background -> Lighter@Blue]
