1 Recently I've wanted to colour some piece of text on my Ikiwiki page.
2 It seems that Markdown can do it only using HTML tags, so I used
3 <span class="color">foo bar baz</span>.
5 However, in my opinion mixing Markdown syntax and HTML tags is rather ugly,
6 so maybe we should create a new color plugin to add more color to Ikiwiki ;)
7 I know that another Wikis have similar plugin, for example
8 [WikiDot](http://www.wikidot.com/).
10 I've noticed that htmlscrubber plugin strips `style` attribute, because of
11 security, so probably we need to use `class` attribute of HTML. But then
12 we have to customize our `local.css` file to add all color we want to use.
13 It's not as easy in usage like color name or definition as plugin argument,
14 but I don't have a better idea right now.
16 What do you think about it? --[[Paweł|ptecza]]
