Change color for two words in LaTeX export using cologr package?

Change color for two words in LaTeX export using cologr package?

Hi

In an org document, I want to change the text colour of two words
{\color{red} red line } to red in a sentence and the rest should be
normal colour.

I am missing something, as this changes the text colour for the rest of
the sentence into red. How can I only change the colour of the two
words?

Thanks,

Rainer

I usually do this type of thing as follows:

#+latex: {\color{red}
red line
#+latex: }

which allows for org-isms in the text.  Alternatively, you could do:

... @@latex:{\color{red} red line}@@

if you don't need to use org syntax within the {}.

Thanks - I will try it out on Monday. But it looks good.

Thanks,

Or, use a macro "color"...

I've begun writing such generic macros for basic and advanced formatting
(see [1]), though they are currently limited to the HTML backend:

  #+MACRO: color @@html:<span style="color: $1">$2</span>@@

I'll update that particular one in the coming hours or days.

Best regards,
Fabrice

LaTeX has textcolor via (x)xcolor (AFAIR).  odt it probably pretty easy to
get from LO trials.
