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.

Se non si desidera un plugin (che richiede la modifica di app.yml e la ricompilazione di discourse e corre il rischio che qualcosa si rompa se il plugin smette di funzionare in futuro, sebbene il plugin BBCode color sia un plugin ufficiale, il rischio è inferiore), un tema aggiuntivo che può essere fatto dalla pagina del browser dell’amministratore senza dover ricompilare:
