org text color highlights fails

org text color highlights fails

Hi there,

There have been some useful discussions on changing text color in org mode,
a very useful feature when editing manuscripts.
Anyway, I tried the following function without any success. No change in
color, it just behave like a normal link (i.e, underlined). Could someone
shed some light on what I am doing wrong ?

Cheers,

M

;; org-mode color
(org-add-link-type
 "color" nil
 (lambda (path desc format)p
  (cond
   ((eq format 'html)
    (format "<span style=\"color:%s;\">%s</span>" path desc))
   ((eq format 'latex)
    (format "{\\color{%s}%s}" path desc)))))
;; org-mode highlight
(org-add-link-type
 "hl" nil
 (lambda (path desc format)
  (cond
   ((eq format 'html)
    (format "<font style=\"background-color:%s;\">%s</font>" path desc))
   ((eq format 'latex)
    (format "\\colorbox{%s}{%s}" path desc))))) ;; require \usepackage{color}

Examples:
[[color:blue][test this out]]
[[hl:yellow][highlighted text]]

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

I see,

Does anybody know how to change text color in the Org buffer ?

for what it is worth I currently use the following for marking up my
students latex file

#+Latex_header:\newcommand{\insertt}[1]{\textcolor{blue}{#1} }     ; Insert
the following text
#+Latex_header:\newcommand{\delete}[1]{\sout{\textcolor{red}{#1}} }; delete
the following

thanks
