Color font in the message box

[Fluctuatnecmergitur]

Hello everybody !

I'm a french newbie. I just have a fair knowledge of html.
I want to give color to the text in a post.
I read this here, in a topic about html format :
@font color="red" size=3>@b>Bold Red Size 3@/b>@/font> (change "@" by "<"). I don't know why, but it doesn't work for me and my text is still "white" but in bold and the size is correct..
However, here, it work very well ! => Bold Red Size 3
Can you help me to understand where the problem is? Is there some parameters I have to change in my forum's specifictions, and where?

Thank you very much!

Ps : I know, my english is not good.. ;)

Hi,

The Nabble Support forum has some features not found in other forums. It seems that you have found one I did not know about.

On your own forum you need to check the box "Message is in HTML format" to get the code to work.

This has the side effect of also requiring you to use < p> tags to break up your text into paragraphs.

BTW, if you want to show code in your message use: More > Raw text
as I have done below:

 <font color="red" size=3><b>Bold Red Size 3</b></font>

The Nabble Support forum has an extra feature that allows you to enhance the results of < raw> tags which is useful if editing macros and you want to share the code:

<override_macro name="macro_viewer_page_link">
     <a href="[n.macro_viewer_page_path/]" id="edit_link" rel="nofollow" style="display:none;">Edit this page</a>
     <n.visible_for_admins selector="#edit_link" />
</override_macro>

To see how this is achieved reply to this message and use the "Quote" button. Incidentally, this example come from the topic:
