I want to write a document where a paragraph or two has a different text colour. I am using the \textcolor environment for this. But here is the problem
when I write
\textcolor{red}{blah blah blah}
everything is fine.
But when I try this
\textcolor{red}{blah blah
% A paragraph here
blah blah }
Then the colour disappears.
EDIT: Here is a MWE:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{color}
\begin{document}
\textcolor{red}{blah blah blah}
However
\textcolor{red}{blah blah
blah blah}
No color in this case.
\end{document}
I am sure I am making some simple mistake. Any help is appreciated.
Best Answer
\textcolor{<color>}{...}
is a command that doesn't allow changes of paragraph (it is defined with\def
instead of\long\def
).You must use
{\color{<color>}...}
instead.
