Recently I've wanted to colour some piece of text on my Ikiwiki page.
It seems that Markdown can do it only using HTML tags, so I used
-<span class="color">foo bar baz</span>.
+`<span class="color">foo bar baz</span>`.
However, in my opinion mixing Markdown syntax and HTML tags is rather ugly,
so maybe we should create a new color plugin to add more color to Ikiwiki ;)
> `<span>`. A preprocessor directive is not really any less ugly than html

-> \[[color red,green """

> Xmas-colored markdown here

+ +
+ +This plugin can be used to color a piece of text on Ikiwiki page.
+ +It's possible setting foreground and/or background color of the text.
+ +
+ +The plugin syntax is very simple. You only need to type name (e.g. `white`)
+ +or HTML code of colors (e.g. `#ffffff`) and a text you want to color.
+ +The colors should by separated using a comma character.
+ +
+ +Below are a few examples:
+ +
+ + \[[!color white,#ff0000 "White text on red background"]]
+ +
+ +Foreground color is defined as a word, background color is defined as HTML
+ +color code.
+ +
+ + \[[!color white "White text on default color background"]]
+ +
+ +Foreground color is default color if only one color was typed and a comma
+ +character is missing.
+ +
+ + \[[!color white, "White text on default color background"]]
+ +
+ +Background color is missing, so the text is displayed on default background.
+ +
+ + \[[!color ,#ff0000 "Default color text on red background"]]
+ +
+ +Foreground is missing, so the text has default color.
+ +
+ +This plugin is not enabled by default. You can do that in [[ikiwiki.setup]]
+ +file (hint: `add_plugins` variable).
