[reportlab-users] intra-paragraph backcolor?

I tried that, as follows:

from reportlab.lib.styles import getSampleStyleSheet
from reportlab.platypus import *
styles = getSampleStyleSheet()
elements = []
text = "We all live in a <font backColor='yellow'>yellow</font> submarine."
p = Paragraph(text,styles["Normal"])
elements.append(p)
doc = SimpleDocTemplate("yellow.pdf")
doc.build(elements)

However, it doesn't work. Have I made some obvious mistake? Thanks.
