+#### Keep highlighted while popup is open
+
+The `GeoJson` class provides a `popup_keep_highlighted` boolean argument.
+Whenever a GeoJson layer is associated with a popup and a highlight function
+is defined, this argument allows you to decide if the highlighting should remain
+active while the popup is open.
