changing color of text in a game specific forum.

after each session i write a summery of what happened. this is helpful to the players and myself. i post the summery in the game's forum section.  i want to change the color but the only tools i have are for style(font), bold,italics, underline , strike -through , remove ,super size , subscript ,ordered numbered ,ordered bulleted ,paragraph ,insert table ,insert link ,insert picture ,insert horizontal divider line . i am a pro user

Hi techpriest35! You can do this in a handout with the Markdown script . That text could then be copied and pasted into a forum thread and should retain its formatting (haven't tested). You could also try writing the text in a program that can color text (such as Word or better, Google Docs), copying and pasting. That methos is a little more iffy, since multiple html code can conflict. I'd suggest testing and checking with your players that the text is readable.
i was not talking about in the hand outs or in game chat  i was talking about how when you click on a game then scroll down you can see a game specific forum. i already changed the color in google docs but when i paste i have to paste without formatting or it turns everything to black text and i cant see the text with dark mode enabled. bright mode hurts my eyes so i have to use dark mode. i just ended up using the bold code for player names,enemy names; any numbers such as hp healed/damaged or number of a thing found/consumed,room names and any proper noun. when players rolled a natural 1 or natural 20 i used bold, underline, and italics when i was posting something like a description of a room i used italics i also used italics and parenthesis for out of game content told to the players i used italics for anything a player/npc said out loud i made all actions like hide checks bold and italic

I was talking about composing in a handout using the linked script, then copying and pasting into a forum thread (in this case a game forum): keithcurtis said: Hi techpriest35!
