Arbitrary colouration of words/sentences etc. in HTML export?

Arbitrary colouration of words/sentences etc. in HTML export?

[Jos'h Fuller]

Hi!

Is there any good quick and /simple/ way to drop an arbitrary colour on a sequence of characters that will show up in the exported HTML page?

I have introduced a colleague to org-mode for generating documentation, however they want to use multiple colours to highlight different terms. Adding a CSS style rule for *bold* is OK, but it would be nice to do other colours without rendering the other common styles (/i/, _underscore_, etc.) useless. Something like:

    #+HTML: <span class="greenish">
    Greenword
    #+HTML: </span>

or even this:

    @<span style="color: green"> Greenword @</span>

is far too clumsy. Especially since they're using it partly so they don't have to deal with HTML.

Any better way to do this?

Thanks very much!

Hi Jos'h,

Add the following to your Emacs config,

    ;; -*- emacs-lisp -*-
    (org-add-link-type
     "color"
     (lambda (path)
       (message (concat "color "
                        (progn (add-text-properties
                                0 (length path)
                                (list 'face `((t (:foreground ,path))))
                                path) path))))
     (lambda (path desc format)
       (cond
        ((eq format 'html)
         (format "<span style=\"color:%s;\">%s</span>" path desc))
        ((eq format 'latex)
         (format "{\\color{%s}%s}" path desc)))))

and then you can use [[color:red][in red]] for colored export.

Best,
