editing a book, more than one colored font?

[20Gt]

Hi im creating a walkthur for a game.

ive changed some of the sentences (using calibre editor)to blue or red colors using the built in html codes. I cant seem to get my (moon+ reader) to recognize the different colors. should i be using css or is this normal and different colored fonts cant actually be used.

Thanks Steve

You can use this in the CSS file:

.color1 {
  color: #FF0000;
}

.color2 {
  color: #00FF00;
}

.color3 {
  color: #0000FF;
}

Then designate the parts you want to have a different color:

<p> ... </p> will be default.
<p class="color1"> ... </p> will be red.
<p class="color2"> ... </p> will be green.
<p class="color3"> ... </p> will be blue.

If this works in Calibre's preview, then you have done everything correctly; if it doesn't work in Moon Reader, it may be ignoring font colors.

for the basic 16 colors, you can use their name if you don't want to look up their RGB codes
Stylesheet:

color: blue;
background: white;
border-color: red;

NOTE: color names are lowercase (all predefined names and tags must be LC. only user selectors may be mixed case and then, they must match exactly in use)
all valid

Browser like devices, including calibre's viewer, are much more tolerant of errors than actual devices or readers. The rules are also not the same epub vs. web pages.
