Re: org text color highlights fails

[Christian Moe <mail@christianmoe.com>]

Hi,

You are not doing anything wrong.

The below solution only changes color in exported text (HTML, Latex).

It doesn't put different faces on different link types in the Org 
buffer. So it's not a great help in editing.

Yours,
Christian Moe
