How do I change a font colour for just a few words at a time?
Searched the user guide, but I didn't find anything that seemed to answer this.
This is possible with different plugins, e.g. wrap or color
If you use combo, this is done with the itext component https://combostrap.com/content/itext/applies-typographic-effect-to-characters-or-words-82ykx98a#color
Let me also mention that the Ad-Hoc Tags plugin with the Ad-Hoc Wrap extension, this allows for a syntax like: This is <span red>red text</span> and this is <b blue>blue and bold text</b>
This is <span red>red text</span> and this is <b blue>blue and bold text</b>
So, there's no way to do it without a plugin? No markdown code or anything?
Hogwild No. Have a look at the syntax. It says there
DokuWiki supports bold, italic, underlined and monospaced texts.
