How to apply color in Markdown?

Question

I want to use Markdown to store textual information. But quick googling says Markdown does not support color. Also StackOverflow does not support color. Same as in case of G

Answer 1

Short story: links. Make use of something like:

a[href='red'] {
    color: red;
    pointer-events: none;
    cursor: default;
    text-decoration: none;
}

<a href="red">Look, ma! Red!</a>

(HTML above for demonstration purposes)

And in your md source:

[Look, ma! Red!](red)

Answer 2

This should be shorter:

<font color='red'>test blue color font</font>

Answer 3

I have started using Markdown to post some of my documents to an internal web site for in-house users. It is an easy way to have a document shared but not able to be edited by the viewer.

So, this marking of text in color is “Great”. I have use several like this and works wonderful.

<span style="color:blue">some *This is Blue italic.* text</span>

Turns into This is Blue italic.

And

<span style="color:red">some **This is Red Bold.** text</span>

Turns into This is Red Bold.

I love the flexibility and ease of use.

Answer 4

I've had success with

<span class="someclass"></span>

Caveat : the class must already exist on the site.

Answer 5

This works in the note-taking Joplin:

<span style="color:red">text in red</span>

Answer 6

In Jekyll I was able to add some color or other styles to a bold element (should work with all other elements as well).

I started the "styling" with {: and end it }. There is no space allowed between element and curly bracket!

**My Bold Text, in red color.**{: style="color: red; opacity: 0.80;" }

Will be translated to html:

<strong style="color: red; opacity: 0.80;">My Bold Text, in red color.</strong>
