Inserting html-code for coloring a word red

[StefanL38]

Hi everybody,

I tried to quoogle how to color a single word red in a posting

most hits are looong tutorials about how to use colors in general or in combination with css

Some example were simple
but the found examples did not work in the arduino forum
I mean something similiar like strike-through is done with

to show the html-source-code I use capital space "S"
< S > these words will be striked < /S >
.
.
and in correct html-syntax
these words will be striked

So the word "red" shall be shown in color red

Things like

<span style=color: #FF0000;>January 30, 2011</span>

do not work

<span style=color: yourColor>this should be red</span>

this should be red
this does not work either

 <font color=”#ff0000”>word</font>

Maybe if somebody posts a screen-shot of the edit-window of a posting
with the preview on the right

best regards Stefan

if you mean in the forum, don't use HTML, use the color tag

text above in red is typed as

[color=red]use the color tag[/color]

it does not work within code tags though, only for text, so you can't use it to highlight part of a code

PS: it's visible in the preview as you type

Hy @J-M-L , @dlloyd
thank you very much for your tips

hm I seem to do still something wrong with the bb editor
So let's see what this bb code editor can do
[font=Comic Sans MS]Comic Sans
[/font]
[size=200]BIG font
[/size][table][tr][td]a[/td][td]b[/td][td]c[/td][td]d[/td][/tr][tr][td]1[/td][td]2[/td][td]3[/td][td]4[/td][/tr][tr][td]5[/td][td]z[/td][td]U[/td][td][size=200]B[/size][/td][/tr][/table]

a simple copy & paste seems to work only partially
It should look like this

let's see If I can use the color tag
this should be red bolded

yes this works

So let's see what this bb code editor can do

[font=Comic Sans MS]Comic Sans [/font]

[size=200][b]BIG font

[/b]
[/size][table][tr][td]a[/td][td]b[/td][td]c[/td][td]d[/td][/tr][tr][td]1[/td][td]2[/td][td]3[/td][td]4[/td][/tr][tr][td]5[/td][td]z[/td][td]U[/td][td][size=200]B[/size][/td][/tr][/table]

not all the BB Codes are supported here in the forum unfortunately

you can also check Markdown but not everything works either
