Caption Rules
These rules are concluded from the tests below.
Coloring Caption Text
Caption text can be colored using HTML. Examples:
- <font color="red">red text</font>. displays red text.
Colors are usually easier to see in boldface. You can use either HTML or wikitext bold markup:
- HTML: <font color="red"><b>red text</b></font>. displays red text.
- Three single quotes: <font color="red">'''red text'''</font>. displays: red text.
Light colors may be unreadable on a white background, so use a black background. But there seems to be no way to specify a background color in a caption. So you will need to put the color key in the text of the page. For standard color keys, templates are provided: see Help:Color Keys. Proteopedia page text does not support HTML bgcolor, but it supports CSS font color:
- Yellow on white: <font color="yellow"><b>yellow</b></font>. displays yellow.
- Yellow on black: <font style="background:black;color:yellow;padding: 3px 1px 2px 1px;"><b>yellow</b></font>. displays yellow.
