+
+        Parameters
+        ----------
+        subset : IndexSlice, default None
+            A valid slice for ``data`` to limit the style application to.
+        color : str, default 'yellow'
+            Background color to use for highlighting.
+        axis : {0 or 'index', 1 or 'columns', None}, default 0
+            If ``left`` or ``right`` given as sequence, axis along which to apply those
+            boundaries. See examples.
+        left : scalar or datetime-like, or sequence or array-like, default None
+            Left bound for defining the range.
+        right : scalar or datetime-like, or sequence or array-like, default None
+            Right bound for defining the range.
+        inclusive : {'both', 'neither', 'left', 'right'}
+            Identify whether bounds are closed or open.
+        props : str, default None
+            CSS properties to use for highlighting. If ``props`` is given, ``color``
+            is not used.
+
+        Returns
+        -------
+        self : Styler
+
+        See Also
+        --------
+        Styler.highlight_null: Highlight missing values with a style.
+        Styler.highlight_max: Highlight the maximum with a style.
+        Styler.highlight_min: Highlight the minimum with a style.
+
+        Notes
+        -----
+        If ``left`` is ``None`` only the right bound is applied.
+        If ``right`` is ``None`` only the left bound is applied. If both are ``None``
+        all values are highlighted.
+
+        ``axis`` is only needed if ``left`` or ``right`` are provided as a sequence or
+        an array-like object for aligning the shapes. If ``left`` and ``right`` are
+        both scalars then all ``axis`` inputs will give the same result.
+
+        This function only works with compatible ``dtypes``. For example a datetime-like
+        region can only use equivalent datetime-like ``left`` and ``right`` arguments.
+        Use ``subset`` to control regions which have multiple ``dtypes``.
+
+        Examples
+        --------
+        Basic usage
+
+        >>> df = pd.DataFrame({
+        ...     'One': [1.2, 1.6, 1.5],
+        ...     'Two': [2.9, 2.1, 2.5],
+        ...     'Three': [3.1, 3.2, 3.8],
+        ... })
+        >>> df.style.highlight_between(left=2.1, right=2.9)
+
+        .. figure:: ../../_static/style/hbetw_basic.png
+
+        Using a range input sequnce along an ``axis``, in this case setting a ``left``
+        and ``right`` for each column individually
+
+        >>> df.style.highlight_between(left=[1.4, 2.4, 3.4], right=[1.6, 2.6, 3.6],
+        ...     axis=1, color="#fffd75")
+
+        .. figure:: ../../_static/style/hbetw_seq.png
+
+        Using ``axis=None`` and providing the ``left`` argument as an array that
+        matches the input DataFrame, with a constant ``right``
+
+        >>> df.style.highlight_between(left=[[2,2,3],[2,2,3],[3,3,3]], right=3.5,
+        ...     axis=None, color="#fffd75")
