Hi,
well analog to your ‘bold’ code you could use a ‘span’ with a class to put the enclosed text in a certain colour.
Of course you’d need to make a stylesheet with all colourclasses defined in it.
This would output :
<span class="light_red">Bladibladibla</span>
Another way to go is to include the style property inside the span. This is probably the best way to go if you use lots of different colours, user-defined per element.
<span style="color:#ff5555;">Bladibladibladibla</span>
The colour-code you can construct when echoing the line.
About the line-numbers. That may be trickier. What I would do to have line-numbers in a somewhat correct manner is to collect all output I want line-numbered in one big string, then use ‘explode()’ to split it into an array of lines and then use a ‘foreach()’ to loop through the entire array, prefixing them with a linenumber and echoing (writing to output) them.
[php]
// Collecting all lines in ‘$textblock’
$textblock = ‘’;
$textblock .= “Line number 1
\n”;
$textblock .= “Line number 2
\n”;
$textblock .= “Line number 3
\n”;
$textblock .= “Line number 4
\n”;
$textblock .= “Line number 5
\n”;
// Processing ‘$textblock’
$textblock = str_replace( “\n”, ‘’, $textblock ); // Strip newlines
if ( $textblock )
{ $textarray = explode( ‘
’, $textblock );
$count = 1; // Assuming first line is ‘1’
foreach ( $textarray as $line )
{ echo sprintf( "%04d ", $count++ ). $line. “\n”; // To get things to line nicely, use a monotyped font
}
}
[/php]
( This is of course when assuming you know beforehand when and what you want line-numbered. ) ;D
Well, anyway I hope this helps you a little,
good luck!
