Question

I have a case where different groups of users will edit a topic's text. I would like for each group to have its own text color associated with it. Thus, this would make topic history more easy to spot. Is this possible?

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

This is not supported by the TWiki core, and wil probably never be. This functionality could be implemented as a Plugin. See also related WikiNameHighlighting.

Couldn't a comment template be enhanced by adding %COLOR%, %ENDCOLOR% brackets to the text where the color depends on the user?

BTW: Why is there no %GROUP% variable in TWikiVariables showing the membership of ... One moment, in Dakar there is %USERINFO{format="$groups"}%. I'm wondering if this can be used in %IF{..}% clauses.

I got a 4.0.0 version and cannot find the $groups variable. Did you have a chance to try it out Franz?
