Font size and color.

Hi,
I don't know whether there is a way to change font size and color. Now I have to use [[DIV]] to do that. Can you put some new buttons for these features on the toolbar of the editor? It will be very useful and simplify the edit.
Thank you!

Hi,

you can use [[span]] or [[size size-value]] for it…
size-value can be: small, x-small, xx-small, large, x-large, xx-large, smaller, larger

span takes the style="…" argument just as div.

I am thinking about reconsidering the whole editor. Some people would likely see the WYSIWYG option… What would you think about it?

Michal,

We have opened up our site (today) for all members to have the ability to amend the pages. A lot are happy that it works like a basic 'word-processor' but others would like to see how this sits on the page as they type.

I think that a WYSIWYG option would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry to raise a zombie thread, but the [[size <font-size>]] markup is not documented in the Wiki syntax page.

I've been wasting time typing [[span style="font-size: smaller"]].

Please update the docs.

Thanks.

About a WYSIWYG editor: I vote NO. That is why I left pbwiki. They refused to improve or debug their wiki markup because all of their efforts were put into the WYSIWYG editor. I don't want to waste time moving the mouse around and pushing buttons.

Do not abandon a good wiki syntax!

Cheers!

you might find that it is documented elsewhere.

Try the snippets, and the how to's. you will find them on the sidebar.

There are lots of things that are not documented in the documentation,
which is why these additional pages have been added., and some of us are still learning new tricks, a year on. :-)
