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 someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is 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?
