~~#FF0000:This is a great start! I think automated testing will be an important ingredient in the future, to keep TikiWiki stable. That said, it seems to me that TikiTests still falls short of meeting many of my needs as a Test Driven Developer. I want to start ussing automated tests on Tiki ASAP, so let's figure out what's missing, and how to best support those needs. ~~


This used to produce colored text. In a recent upgrade, it no longer does.

Is this a regression bug?
Or was this an accidental but never official feature?

Solution

fixed in Tiki4

More info: I think that if "Use wiki paragraph formatting" is on in Admin..Editing and plugins, the color ends when you leave a line causing a new paragraph. This is a feature of HTML specs where you need multiple color tags for different paras.

However, if "Use wiki paragraph formatting" is off, then the color will span multiple "paragraphs" because they aren't really true paragraphs but multiple line breaks.
