X11 Color Names

The basic formatting allows only for a three colors: blue, red, green.

blue color
red (emphasis)

What about yellow? What about indigo? And what about background colors?

How to use more than 140 colors as foreground and background.

The syntax is the same as it is in the original formatting. The only extension is that ?? starts and ends setting the background color. You could get colors like this:

`!!(lightblue) lightblue!!`	lightblue
`??(plum) plum background??`	plum background
or even something like this:
`??(indigo)!!(lime) bold lime fore color and indigo background!!??`	bold lime for color and indigo background

X11 colors replacements for red, blue and green are not suited to highlight text.

X11 overrides definitions in wacko.css

After enabling X11, overrides definitions in wacko.css
.mark-green {background: #a0ffa4;} >>> #008000
.mark-blue {background: #9ec6ff;} >>> #0000ff
.mark-red {background: #ffbaba;} >>> #ff0000
How to fix it?

X11 colors replacements for red, blue and green are not suited to highlight text

The highlighting color for red, blue and green makes the text unreadable.
That's a catch. Not sure how this can be solved as long as it uses the same names.

I would change the names of Wacкo's three classes and give them their own colors.
For examlpe - .mark-green-w
If I knew where they were generated.

Right now it is one and the same, a if clause should be added.
