= Color foreground and background of text
{{{#!box warning
'''Notice''': This macro is deprecated. Its functionality is superseded by WikiExtrasPlugin.
}}}
== Description
This is a macro that allows you to change the background color of a piece of text. This is useful for highlighting text that you want to draw attention to, or applying a RAG (red, amber, green) status to progress reports.
Usage:
{{{
[[Color(background-color, color, text)]]
}}}
or:
{{{
[[Color(color, text)]]
}}}
Where '''color''' is a color keyword or hex color number recognised by your browser and '''text''' is your text. Commas are allowed, but '(' and ')' cause a problem.
Example:
{{{
[[Color(red, This has a red background)]]
[[Color(lightblue, green, This has a lightblue background and green text)]]
[[Color(none, #0000bb, I'm using a hex color)]]
}}}
which would then render as:
{{{#!html
This has a red background
}}}
[[BR]]
{{{#!html
This has a lightblue background and green text
}}}
[[BR]]
{{{#!html
I'm using a hex color
}}}
'''Note''': The effect of this macro could also be achieved out-of-the-box in Trac (>= 0.11.8) by span macro, see [t:WikiHtml#HowtoUseDivSpan WikiHtml] for details. Example usage of span macro:
{{{
[[span(''WORLD'', style=color: green)]]
}}}
