I want to add a feature that users can select a color (Ex: #c3c3c3).

I try to read Etherpad's client hooks, but can't find the necessary hook.

Do you have any suggestion?

Could you please choose a license for this repo.

When calling the 'troubleshooting information' admin page (i.e. the /admin/plugins/info URL), I see these messages in the log:

[ERROR] console - Failed to load 'ep_font_color/static/js/index' for 'ep_font_color/main/client_hooks/postAceInit': ReferenceError: window is not defined

ep 1.8.6-256-g325941a

The drop-down to change the color of selected text is visible also for read-only pads. Using it temporarily changes the color of the selected text in the current browser window. The original pad is not changed however ([WARN] message - Dropped message, COLLABROOM for readonly pad), and the change vanishes after reloading the page.

Sometimes however the read-only pad looses the connection to the server when using the drop down.

When I change the language from dutch to french the color menu is still in dutch.

It would be great and more useful to display a Button Icon in the Button bar instead of the Text which clutters the "Button" Bar. A click on the Button could open up the Menu so people can choose from it. The chosen format could get highlighted as replacing it with a long text would crash the Button bar completely.

By Hover or longer Tapping with the finger (on tablet/phone), the actual chosen value could be shown in the title tag.

Hi All,
When I am trying to copy and paste the color and font size. Formatting is not working.
I have used ep_font_color for the color option.

Desktop:

• OS: Window 10
• Browser : chrome
• Version : 87.0.4280.88

The user is confused in multiple ways:

• color does not apply
• displayed (as in written in the Color select Box) Color is not visible
• no obvious way to make it apply

The goal of this issue is to clear up the confusion:

1. Block the user from editing the color (stating "Please remove membership color before", maybe even providing a shortcut for it)
2. Just apply the color, not taking in account that text might get unreadable by having no contrast between ownership color and text color.

Which of the ways is the best?

When exporting a complete formatted file the given values do not get exported to .doc, .md, .odt, .pdf, etc.
Check issue ether/etherpad-lite#5211 as it is not clear if it is a problem with the core import/export functionality or a problem with the plugins that provide that information. The document inside etherpad gets actually properly formatted by those plugins!

That is the page that got exported! You can upload the NEW.ETHERPAD.txt file - remove (txt) before uploading.

Other export formats look as follow - on the same page:
Github doesn't like all formats so .txt got added and needs to get removed first.

• DOC - New.doc.txt
• ETHERPAD - New.etherpad.txt
• HTML - New.html.txt
• MD - New.md
• ODT - New.odt
• PDF - New.pdf
• TXT - New.txt

Font color gets listed in its own group while belonging actually to all other Font Formatting in Filemenu and on the Button Bar

It would be good to move it up to the other Font Formatting items and gather it together with those on the Menu bar

At least not in HTML...

Hey,

I want these assigned colors to be exported as <span style="color:red"></span>
Right now it is being exported as a tag- <span color:red></span>

Is it possible?

Tested on ehterpad version 1.8.4, Firefox 76 and Win10

Problem description / steps to reproduce

Select text and color it with a new and different color. Now go to another point in the pad. The color displayed as drop down menu entry stays the same as it was selected before, even if the color where the caret is might be different.

Drop down color should have changed from blue to black in the example below

Possible solution

The color shown in the drop down menu should show the respective color dependent on the text color where the caret is placed. Implementation could be done as in ep_headings2. There the respective style appears in the menu dependent on the caret.
