Enabling Colored Text

I wish I could use some colors here too… :paintbrush:

Discourse does not support color out of the box. We could use a plugin to add text colors, but I’d advise against it.

The text we show should be short and obvious. I think @hamoid’s example was a good start, but we can probably shorten it a bit. As we come up with guidelines we can also link to those.

It’d be as easy as enabling this BBCode: BBCode examples

Like I said, we could enable it using a plugin. But I don’t think we should.

What would the color be for? Manual syntax highlighting?

Mostly yes! Usually I underline class/interface names and bold functions. :face_with_monocle:
It’d be much nicer if I could just choose a color for them. :star_struck:
