[daisy] [JIRA] Commented: (DSY-623) Please add text color as a feature of the HTML editor

Allan Pratt commented on DSY-623:
---------------------------------

The ability to set text color is a feature of the WYSIWYG editor in the other wiki. There was no automatic feature to identify authors by color. We used color to distinguish a comment from original content, and two people commenting on the same document would choose different colors to set their contributions off. It worked really well for the short time we used it. 

I discovered a workaround: use an editor that does let you set text color (like MS Word) and copy-and-paste the colored text into the Daisy editor. This works: the color attributes are preserved by the edit control even though the JavaScript doesn't expose a way to change them.

It's not a great hardship but it is a feature request. Now that I know Daisy uses htmlarea and that project isn't being supported any more, maybe the right answer is to consider a different, supported rich-text editor.

> The WYSIWYG editor for Daisy does not include a way to set the text color. My group was using this in a previous wiki to indicate different authors of different paragraphs. We miss it. The rich-text editors of other wikis support this, but not Daisy.
