Colors?

Is there a listing of all the legal color choices and coding usable with textile:

For instance the code { color : red } produces a red word paragrah or phrase depending on how its used. I know Blue, purple work in this usage.

Also when doing borders theres a parse "border:1px solid black" I tried blue to no avail.

And of corse the parse background:#ddd makes a gray background but what other colors and is there a listing of the actual designations used by this script?

These should all work: http://www.w3schools.com/HTML/html_colornames.asp... It's your browser that's rendering the colors, not textile ... Hope that helps.

Yea, well, I know a bit of basic html, and I can copy and paste with the best of 'em. I can't get the color thing to work no matter how I do it, same for a lot of other commands. Oddly, I can get the table border to work.

Does anyone have a living, breathing example that works? The stuff in the textile help either doesn't work, or I'm not getting the syntax well enough from the examples.

Let's see if I can help...


p{color:blue;}. Here is a blue paragraph.


this should come out as the following HTML


< p style="color:blue;" > Here is a blue paragraph. < /p >


Don't forget the period and space after the curly brace.

I know it works because I used it here: http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/shadowfell-atlanta/adventure-log/death-on-the-kings-road

The curly braces allow for setting all sorts of CSS style info. For example:

p{color:blue; margin-left:20px;}. This paragraph will be blue and indented.

I am a little bummed that "bgcolor" isn't an allowed attribute right now. I had wanted a non-grey background for my adventure log "top post" (which links to the first session's writeup), but had to settle for coloring the text instead.

I'm sure it's probably a horribly low priority for you guys, but if I'm ever in a campaign where *everybody* contributes to the wiki, I'd love to be able to color-code everyone's contributions via the background (I find colored text a little hard to read sometimes).

Thanks a lot! I was missing the space after the period. I KNEW it had to be something little!

Can you combine the textile commands? For instance, make something blue using an h4 size?

Also, I saw something elsewhere about using style sheets, which might solve FemmeLegion's problem too. Is this still in progress?

The period-space thing has tripped me up, too.

You *should* be able to add the CSS selectors in a lot of ways, but I haven't tested a lot of it. For example:


h4{color:blue;}. Blue header


As to stylesheets, we are working on allowing user-created themes that would be a CSS + images. This will be a premium-only feature. The main thing we're waiting on is we'd like to redesign the site a little before letting people loose on creating themes.

Femmelegion,

I have had litle problem with background color.

For an entire paragraph use the p{bla bla}. Text coding, The colors that can be used seem to be the same as the ones available for text.

If you want only partial text background color I like to use %comand. text% other text.
CODE:

p{background:blue}. This is a Blue background paragraph.

This is how to make a %{background:red}Red% Background

OK it didn't come out in the forum

For blue background full paragraph

Gully

ok try again for the third time

to post some code in the forum, use the following syntax:

...what ever code



And it seems that most HTML/CSS functions are recognized in the wiki/character sheets so far.
Textile is nice in its simplicity, but being able to use tags to define where formating starts and stops is better for me...
