Perhaps a simpler question would be how to change a link color inline. This code does not work:

<font color='#XXXXXX'>[[wiki link]]</font>

Ok, I am trying to duplicate the Portal usage as seen on Wikipedia. I have successfully created the templates needed, and altered them for my site. I am having a few minor problems.

1. When using Firefox, the heading colors change with the template as they should. The header text remains black under IE.

2. I cannot change the 'edit' link color. It appears they are using a <span> with an inline font color change, but it is not working on my site for the links, only the text.

The layout code looks like this:

<!-- BEGIN -->

__NOEDITSECTION__ __NOTOC__

<!-- THIS IS TO SEPARATE SECTIONS -->

<div style="clear: both;"></div>

<!-- BEGIN THE TITLE BLOCK -->

<div style="position: relative;<!-- -->border: 1px solid {{{titleborder|{{{border|#ababab}}}}}};<!-- -->background: {{{titlebackground|#bcbcbc}}};<!-- -->color: {{{titleforeground|#000000}}};<!-- -->padding: .1em;<!-- -->text-align: center;<!-- -->font-weight: bold;<!-- -->font-size: 100%;<!-- -->margin-bottom: 0px;<!-- -->border-bottom: none;<!-- -->-moz-border-radius-topleft:.7em;<!-- -->-moz-border-radius-topright:.7em;"><!-- --><span class="plainlinks" <!-- -->style="position: absolute;<!-- -->top: 1px;<!-- -->right: 1px;<!-- -->background: transparent;<!-- -->border: 0px;<!-- -->margin-bottom:0em;<!-- -->font-size:80%;<!-- -->font-weight: normal;"><!-- --><font color="{{{titleforeground|#000000}}}">[{{fullurl:{{{editpage|/}}}|action =edit}} edit]</font>&nbsp;<!-- --></span ><!-- --><h2 style="font-size:100%;font-weight:bold;border: none; margin: 0; padding:0; padding-bottom:.1em;"><font color="{{{titleforeground|#000000}}}">{{{title}}}</font></h2><!-- --></div> <!-- END THE TITLE BLOCK -->
