How to clear the HighlightColor

I have a MS word document with some parts highlighted. I want to remove all highlighting and generate an HTML page from the document.
To do this I created a Visitor with the following overide:

public override VisitorAction VisitRun(Run run)
{
    run.Font.HighlightColor = Color.Empty;
    return base.VisitRun(run);
}

When generating a .Doc file this seems to work, but when I generate an HTML file I get a black background because the following style is generated:
background-color: #000000;
The alpha channel seems to be missing and I would have expected no background style to have been included.
Is there some other way to disable the highlight color?

Hi

Thank you for reporting this problem to us. I managed to reproduce it on my side. Your request has been linked to the appropriate issue. You will be notified as soon as it is resolved.
As a temporary solution, you can try setting white highlight color as shown below:

public override VisitorAction VisitRun(Run run)
{
    run.Font.HighlightColor = Color.White;
    return VisitorAction.Continue;
}

But this solution will only work if text is on white background.
Another temporary workaround, I can suggest, is parsing your final HTML. You can find background-color: #000000; and replace this text with background-color: #00000000; with Alfa component.
Best regards.

In addition:
When I want to check if a run has a HighlightColor I would expect the following code to work:
if (run.Font.HighlightColor.IsEmpty) …
But that does not work. I needed to write:
if (theHighlightColor.R == 0 && theHighlightColor.G == 0 && theHighlightColor.B == 0 && theHighlightColor.A == 0) …
Maybe this is causing the problem. And it would be great if you can fix this as well, because I think the first line of code should work.
