Some letters unique color

[LKJT]

Hey would it be possible to make every letter A blue and G red? I've tried doing this using the CSS stylesheet or whatever it is called. Unfortunately it doesn't work. Is it possible?

Maybe using some custom font where certain letters is of a certain color?

Thank you very much.

(x)HTML time for you (best done in a code editor or Sigil)

CSS: .firstRed {font-color: red; } .firstBlue { font-color: blue; }

Now you modify the code
<p class="whatever"><span class="firstRed">G</span>o to the end</p>

<p class="whatever"><span class="firstBlue">A</span>nother example</p>

I'm sorry but I've no idea what you're trying to say.

I looked into Sigil and it seems like if I want the letters A and G to be of a certain color -
I'll have to edit every word in every book manually. Is that so?

It's pretty easy with regex, however the flavour (PCRE) used in Sigil makes it a bit trickier than it needs to be

This is a simple way to do it - however PCRE doesn't allow this.

(?<=>[^<]*)(([dg])\2*)

About the best you will get is something like:

Find:
First run : (?<=>)([^<]*?)(([dg])\3*)
Run until 0 matches : (?<=>)([^<]+?)(([dg])\3*)

Replace:
\1<span class="red">\2</span>

You also need to avoid hitting things like the title tags. It would become pretty complex and useless at this point - as you're unlikely to use it.

In short - upload the book somewhere, then send me a link to it, I'll make the modification as needed. If you need to do this on multiple books, I'll write a little script to do it on epubs.

Yes (Manual includes using REGEX as outlined by Serpentine).

While the methods suggested will work, You really need to understand what you are doing (CSS and HTML) before roaring off and doing cute tricks.
Start with some good basic textbooks or at www.w3schools
