since the body of my discussion topic was lost to a bug that
vroom says should now be fixed, i'll reproduce my original
text here:
so, here's my idea: along the lines of the other custom
markup provided on Perl Monks, like <CODE> and now <READMORE>, i propose that we be allowed the possibility of accessing the colors for the current theme as variables through some sort of extended HTML.
my initial idea was to use entities, for example
&pm.bgcolor1;, &pm.fgcolor1;,
&pm.bgcolor2;, or &pm.fgcolor2;.
this is not the optimal solution,
since the theme colors seem to be divided into primary
and secondary sets which should ideally be kept together.
but, without the site on the whole using CSS and doing
something like <TABLE CLASS="pm_secondary">,
i can't see how to do it.
the whole idea may simply be infeasible or simply too
unwieldy, so i'm interested in getting some feedback.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
