How in docbook (generating PDF) can I get coloured text? Colour is clearly
available as admonitions and table borders can be coloured, but I have found
no way to make an arbitrary phrase a different colour from the surrounding
text.
I am using Oxygen + Saxon 5.3.
1. Try it in Saxon 6.5.3 (or is that a typo)
2. Have a look at the xsl-fo you are generating.
on a block, color for the foreground text is set as
fo:block color="red"
Is that what you are generating?
3. Docbook stylesheets handle style, not docbook itself.
Find the appropriate template in your docbook distro
and either modify it directly, or find the attribute set to modify.
4. Docbook questions are perhaps more appropriate on the docbook-apps
list at Oasis.
