Colored text in problems?
<p style=\"color:red\">A red word
I don't know much html or what form of it this site uses.
How could I make a line say:
black red black
where each word is in the correct color?
Thanks |

Try blue
blue
You can make blue font by using "a" tags, leaving out the href="url" that you would normally include in a link. However, it might annoy people that the font looks like a link but isn't. |

Re: Colored text in problems?
Philip, I tried pasting your line into the problem text window, but the preview then showed the same thing except with // everywhere instead of /. I removed the /'s entirely but they still came back in the preview pane.
Tristan, I'm sorry but you totally lost me. But blue and black would be ok colors to use for my problem. |

Re: Colored text in problems?
To make blue, I typed out the following:
<a>blue</a>
This is definitely not the traditional way of making colors in html code. I'm actually using the same tag that is used to make links. To make links, you would normally use the tags <a href="type url here"> and </a>. If you leave out the url part, you are left with just blue font. |

Re: Colored text in problems?
That didn't turn out as expected. The ampersand-lt should actually be a <. That's just the code used to make less-than signs without creating an html tag. |

Re: Colored text in problems?
It didn't work again... it should show a less-than sign, in case you haven't already figured out again. I don't know why it only works sometimes. |

Re: Colored text in problems?
In the comments today, I couldn't help but notice that John Ryskamp made a comment with several words with colored highlights. Surprised that a color tag worked, I looked at the source code. I guess it must not work in the forums though. |

Re: Colored text in problems?
The word 'style' is employed in Cascading Style Sheets, and if I recall correctly, either has to be called as separate file, or needs to written in the < head > < /head > section of the HTML page which would mean that 'style' is unavailable to us. |
