Recently I've wanted to colour some piece of text on my Ikiwiki page.
It seems that Markdown can do it only using HTML tags, so I used
-<span class="color">foo bar baz</span>.
+`<span class="color">foo bar baz</span>`.
However, in my opinion mixing Markdown syntax and HTML tags is rather ugly,
so maybe we should create a new color plugin to add more color to Ikiwiki ;)
> `<span>`. A preprocessor directive is not really any less ugly than html

-> \[[color red,green """
+> \[[!color red,green """
> Xmas-colored markdown here
> """]]
