Description
Describe your feature request
As far as I know, Markdown does not support text color directly, but it can be done with inline HTML.
I test this method in Marktext under source code mode and Marktext can correctly display it.
And I think it would be great to add a button to changed color of selected string in Typewritter Mode.
What problem does this feature solve? [optional]
Make Marktext to support colored text easily, it would be useful for note-taking.
Additional context [optional]
Test makrdown snippet (under source code mode)
- <span style="color:blue">Blue text</span>
- <span style="color:red">Red text</span>
- <span style="color:yellow">Yellow text</span>
- <span style="color:green">Green text</span>
And after switching back to typewritter mode
And it would be great to support in the menu Format > Color.
