Markup {color} doesn't work

Jan Schwoebel

In Confluence 5, I can no longer write markup in the rich text editor, at least not everything is working

 

I can use 

*bold* to make it bold

but

{color:red} bla {color} doesn't work

Did the syntax change? Is there a different way then opening up the actual markup editor?

Something may have changed, perhaps unintentionally; consider browsing for and/or opening a bug ticket: https://jira.atlassian.com

In the meantime, if you are using confluence server, here is a quick user macro that nearly replicates it:

## Macro title: Text Color
## Macro has a body: Y
## Body processing: Rendered
## Output: HTML
##
## Developed by: MIlo Grika
## Date created: 09/28/2015
## This is a replacement text coloring macro
## @param color:title=Color|type=string|required=true|desc=The color of the text.
<font color="$paramcolor">$body</font>

just type

{textcolor:color=red}

then whatever you want to be that color, then the down arrow on the keyboard to leave the macro and continue typing.
