Hi,

my *.css file contains the following line:

body {background-color: black; color: blue;}

It means that text in body will be blue. However I would like to put
one sentence in my text wich (sentence) have to have another color (not
blue). Can you tell me how it can be done?

Thank you.

..green {color:green;}

<span class="green">this text is green</span>

I would strongly urge you not to have blue text against a black
background. It's almost unreadable. While aqua provides much
better contrast than blue against a black background, it might
still create problems for anyone who is colorblind.

That doesn't really seperate structure and content from the presentation
does it, it simply stacks another layer on top of it. What happens when
the author decides to use a new theme and green is no longer
appropriate? Should all the markup be changed to match, or just the CSS
(which would make it inconsistent and confusing.)

eg.
..green { color: red; } ???

[color=blue]
> <span class="green">this text is green</span>[/color]

It depends what you are trying to markup, not what you want it to look
like. If, for example, you want emphasis to be shown in green, you
could use

<em>emphasised text</em>

em { color: green; }

After reading the link I see your suggestion is quite good. If someone
wanted a special one time only style I would add the following:

..special { font-weight: bold; color: #FF0000}

I would add this comment to the style:

/* color red emphasis bold */

I would then add this to the body:

<span class="special">Bold Red Text</span>

If needed I would adapt the comment to describe any additional formattting
too, of course this is all OT in this NG. ;-)
Signed,

Well, I do.
*shrugs*

Then again, I actually keep everything in one document (one CSS and one html
template), so it's not hard to.
