Adding colour text to a topic

[IvanC]

Hi, could someone help me out please with a line of HTML/CSS that I can embed into a topic box to (do something like) change a line of text to blue? I can then experiment with other changes…

I realise this is a super simple question for most here, but I’m struggling with the basics. Many thanks for any help.

Topics are prepared in Markdown. This standard does not implement coloured text like HTML.

You could try Discourse BBCode color or Awesome BBCodes Plugin: multi-paragraph, nestable, with auto-complete

(though I’ve not tried them myself)

Thanks very much for the explanation and the suggestions.

Wenn Sie kein Plugin wünschen (das das Bearbeiten von app.yml und das Neuerstellen von Discourse erfordert und das Risiko birgt, dass etwas kaputt geht, wenn das Plugin in Zukunft nicht mehr funktioniert, obwohl das BBCode-Farb-Plugin ein offizielles Plugin ist, ist das Risiko geringer), ein Add-on-Theme, das über die Admin-Browserseite ohne Neukompilierung erfolgen kann:

Discourse Coloured Text

“BBCode-lite” without the need to install a plugin … Adds a simple control (palette icon) to the Composer to facilitate colouring of the foreground and background of text [image] Select a word or text Hit the palette control It will be wrapped like so: [wrap=color color=# bgcolor=#]word[/wrap] Replace the #s with html-compatible colour names, e.g. “red”, “grey” … experiment. NB Same caveats apply as to BBCode: can be used to hide text. Credits Uses @j.jaffeux’s Generic bbco…
