They are probably handled by putting explicit color faces on chunks of text, under control of the HTML tags/CSS. Go to one of the colored places and type M-x describe-text-properties RET If you don't see "fontified t" among the properties, you are not up against font-lock. > So providing a more intuitive alias for it, or putting it on the > menus, would not be helpful (at least in my case). I don't think it will help, see above.
