Examples:

<mark style="color:red;">`100x100;px;40`</mark> : Watermark with width 100px and height 100px with opacity 40.

<mark style="color:red;">`30;%;60`</mark> : Watermark with size 30% of backdrop image with opacity 60.

<mark style="color:red;">`30x20;%;60`</mark> : Watermark with width 30% and height 20% of backdrop image with opacity 60.
