Re: [Orgmode] org text color highlights fails

[Marvin Doyley]

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

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.

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]]
