Color foreground and background of text

Notice: This macro is deprecated. Its functionality is superseded by WikiExtrasPlugin.

Description

This is a macro that allows you to change the background color of a piece of text. This is useful for highlighting text that you want to draw attention to, or applying a RAG (red, amber, green) status to progress reports.

Usage:

[[Color(background-color, color, text)]] 

or:

[[Color(color, text)]]

Where color is a color keyword or hex color number recognised by your browser and text is your text. Commas are allowed, but '(' and ')' cause a problem.

Example:

  [[Color(red, This has a red background)]]
  [[Color(lightblue, green, This has a lightblue background and green text)]]
  [[Color(none, #0000bb, I'm using a hex color)]]

which would then render as:

This has a red background

This has a lightblue background and green text

I'm using a hex color

Note: The effect of this macro could also be achieved out-of-the-box in Trac (>= 0.11.8) by span macro, see ​WikiHtml for details. Example usage of span macro:

[[span(''WORLD'', style=color: green)]]
