<colortag[attributes]>TAG[,TAG,…]</colortag>

• TAG is either a color, or color:char, or color:char:color
  • color can be given (as for any HTML color field) by:
    • black — name
    • #1A2B3C — 6-digit hex
    • #1AF — 3-digit hex
    • the last color, if any, is the foreground one
  • char is any good char to show (say, •)
• attributes are now unused.

• One may edit style.css file in the plugin's directory to customize the render.
  Actually, only the table.colortag specs (and below) are in use.

• 2012-05-18
  • color:char and color:char:color forms added:
    • <colortag>green:&bull;</colortag>
    • <colortag>green:&bull;:lime</colortag>

  • Initial release

• No verification is done on the color value. This may lead to code injection.

• make use of attributes to set color of the border lines.
• filter the color value to prevent abuse.
• tune up the style.css to reduce the vertical size of the resulting boxen.
• implement (via attributes?) an automated way of mapping some device values to respective color codes (resistors, diodes, etc).
  Something like <colortag resistor=4.7kOhm></colortag>.
