I see people typing in different colors. How can one do it ?
It is actually very easy if you know a little bit of HTML, as a matter of fact one particular HTML tag called the <font> tag. Let's say you have a text like this :
I want this line to be RED
I want this line to be BLUE
And I want this one to be GREEN
but you see that everything is the dull, default color, usually black. It doesn't have to be that way. You can jazz it up like this :
(you type these lines literally character by character into your message, not worrying about how it looks when you are typing)
<font color=RED>I want this line to be RED</font>
<font color=BLUE>I want this line to be BLUE</font>
<font color=GREEN>And I want this one to be GREEN</font>
...and the drum roll please....ta-daaaaa
I want this line to be RED
I want this line to be BLUE
And I want this one to be GREEN
Well, the only colors are not red green and blue you said ? Of course, you can get many more colors but as you can guess not all the colors have such common names like these basic colors. You can try few other ones like yellow, pink, orange but you will notice that your choices are limited whereas colors are not.
to get more colors than regular words can describe by tweaking your <font> tag a little like this:
<font color="#99cccc">I want this line to be this nice shade of blue</font>
generates this output:
I want this line to be this nice shade of blue
for further color options that you can safely use, you can check this colormap page where you can find the 6 digit color codes.
Go on. Color your world...
