Cdml Font
From: CdmlElements
Description
This CmdlElement can be used to change the font or size of the displayed text or to create colored text.
Example
The following line:
- This word is RED.
results from the source-line:
: This word is [[font][color=red]RED].
- color: allows to specify a color out of the 16 millions of colors available (default: black); e.g. [color=green] or [color=#ffaacc] (c.f. HtmlColorCodes, CdmlColorNames)
- size: allows to specify the font-size. This can be either an "absolute" (1-7) or a "relative" font size. (default: 3); e.g. [size=5] or [size=-2].
- Note: In each browser a standard-size is defined. Relative font-sizes are chosen according to this standard-size, therefore selecting a small size can lead to lines which may no longer be readable on other computers!
- face: allows specifying the font-face (e.g. Arial, Times, Courier, Verdana). It is also possible to specify more than one font-face, in this case the browser uses the first one, which is actually available on the computer. (e.g. [face=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica].
- Note: Not each computer has every font installed!
There is an extension to the face parameters allowing to express all other text attributes in a single string:
- Arial@5ibu#green
You may add a section starting with '@' that optionally defines size, bold, italic and underline. The size - if given - must be given first, the order of the other command characters (BbIiUu) is arbitrary.
You may add a section starting with '#' that defines the color in the same way as the color parameter.
This extension reused in other CdmlElements like CdmlQuote or CdmlText, that allow you to redefine the text attributes.
