Give 1 link a custom color?

[FLX]

Hi,

How do I give one of the links (wiki articles) a custom color?
I tried the code below, but it doesnt work:

@@bgcolor(#ff0000):color(#ffffff): [[SpecialIndex]]@@

I'd like to have the tiddler SpecialIndex to have a different color.

How do I do this?

Thanks,

create a custom CSS class definition in your [[StyleSheet]], like
this:
.specialLink a { background-color:#f00; color:#fff; }
then in your tiddler content, write:
{{specialLink{[[SpecialIndex]]}}}

Hi Eric,

Sorry, but this doesn't seem to work :(

Hmm..... it seems that the CSS rule has to be a bit more specific.
Try this:

.specialLink a, .specialLink
tiddlyLinkExisting, .specialLink .tiddlyLinkNonExisting
{ background-color:#f00; color:#fff; }

Hi Eric,

It seems we're getting in the right direction. The tiddlers that link
to nowhere are currently working with the correct colors. However the
ones who link to a actual document don't set the correct color.

Any idea at what this is causing it?

yeah. a typo. There needs to be a "." preceding the
"tiddlyLinkExisting" classname, as in:

.specialLink .tiddlyLinkExisting ... { ... }

Thanks Eric, works like a charm!
