This wiki supports css style attributes on links.

The syntax is a little unorthodox but is set using the following:

style attribute

To set the style attribute on a link, enclose the link title within a span with a defined style - in this case specifically, color. e.g.:

[http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/ <span style="color:green;">Berkman</span>]

The above would be converted to the following link:

<a href="http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/">Berkman</a>

Notice that there are two elements both in front and behind the colored link.

<span style="color:green;">

and

</span>

These HTML elements that wrap the section to which color needs to be applied. Both parts are necessary as the rendered HTML must be able to tell the browser where the span, and with that the coloring, starts and ends.

caveats

There are no caveats at the moment.
