The help page points to Wikipedia help pages, but things that work in Wikpedia don't work here. How can you make some text a different color? Wikipedia documents this: <code><nowiki>{{color|red| this text is red}}</nowiki></code>, but here that syntax is interpreted as a template. Background: I'd like to manually color some code for which there is no GeShi definition.[[Special:Contributions/192.139.122.42|192.139.122.42]] 02:03, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

:To follow up to my own comment, here is one way to get color: using math! <math>{\color{Blue}x^2}+{\color{YellowOrange}2x}-{\color{OliveGreen}1}</math>. Any other ideas/clues? [[Special:Contributions/192.139.122.42|192.139.122.42]] 02:08, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
