Making Color-formatting a part of the formatter

[NilsLindenberg]

We have a (now rewritten :) color action but it should better be a formatter.

discussion from the SuggestionBox

The current color formatting isn't very wiki like. Altho i can see how ""{{}}"" fits with wikka formatting style, text color is something i see myself using more often than tables. so here's the suggestion...

%%^{<color> text}%%

this regex syntax is lifted from a ""UseMod"" Wiki patch.

%%s/\^{([a-zA-Z]{1,}|#[0-9A-Fa-f]{6}) (.*?)\}/<span style="color:$1;">$2<\/span>/%%

I am by NO means a regex expert, but it seems that this should do the deal... I'm just not sure where it would go. By using style here, you can use #0000ff, #00f, as well as just blue or any other html defined color name. --MonstoBrukes

Please take a look at WikkaExtensibleMarkup --NilsLindenberg

I looked at it. what point specifically did you intend i take from it?

JavaWoman had a proposal about a color-markup there. I think its the better place for the discussion. The recognition of markup is done in the formatter (formatters/wakka.php). I am no expert for regexps too, but wouldn't the first or catch too much? --NilsLindenberg
