Pueblo supports ANSI color sequences for foreground and background colors, in addition to a few styles, so that existing ANSI-enabled Worlds should work very well with Pueblo.
If you'd rather not deal with obscure ANSI sequences, Pueblo offers a HTML option to color text through the <font> tag. If you're developing an HTML MUD, we recommend that you use this method to set text colors. The <font> tag gives you control over both foreground and background color.
For overriding the default text color for a large block of text, the <xch_page> element may be more satisfactory. Also, the <body> tag may be used to set both text and hotlink colors.
