Stupid question - Text color change on Sugarcube?

ryanindustries

I've been looking around the internet, but I can't seem to find anything on how to get my story to show just one sentence as red, whereas everything else stays the way it is. I tried putting in the CSS into the "edit story stylesheet" but it didn't work when I tested the game.

If someone could tell me clearly how to make one sentence red and everything else stays the same on sugarcube, I'd really appreciate it.

One sentence as in exactly one sentence or one sentence every once and a while?

For the former, you could either use the custom styles markup or a <span> element with the appropriate CSS style. For example:

@

→ Using a <span> element
<span style="color:red">I'm red text.</span>

For the latter, you're probably better off making a CSS class out of it and, again, either using the custom styles markup or a <span> element with the class. For example, the CSS (goes in the Story Stylesheet):

.reddish {
	color: red;
}

And making use of it:

@

→ Using a <span> element
<span class="reddish">I'm red text.</span>

Figured it out myself. You have to add the tag "stylesheet" to the lexia, and then treat that like an HTML file. From there the code works perfectly.

I just use it the way TheMadExile writes.

I go:

<span class="redtext">This text is red.</span>

And in CSS:

.redtext {
color: #800000;
}

The stylesheet tag does absolutely nothing in Twine 2, so I can only assume that you're using Twine 1, and thus this thread is tagged improperly.

I'm using Twine 2.0.4. It's far more likely I just have no idea what I'm talking about.

Heh. I suppose that's a possibility too.
