<span id="Colors-and-Styles-1"></span><h2 class="chapter">13 Colors and Styles</h2>

<p>You can choose to highlight parts of Info’s display, such as 
cross-references and search matches, using a variety of styles, 
including colors, boldface and underline.  Here are the variables that 
are available to do this:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt id='index-link_002dstyle'><span><code>link-style</code><a href='#index-link_002dstyle' class='copiable-anchor'> ¶</a></span></dt>
<dd><p>Used for cross-references and menu entries.
</p>
</dd>
<dt id='index-active_002dlink_002dstyle'><span><code>active-link-style</code><a href='#index-active_002dlink_002dstyle' class='copiable-anchor'> ¶</a></span></dt>
<dd><p>Used for a cross-reference or menu entry when typing <tt class="key">RET</tt> would 
have the effect of following said cross-reference or menu entry.
</p>
</dd>
<dt id='index-match_002dstyle'><span><code>match-style</code><a href='#index-match_002dstyle' class='copiable-anchor'> ¶</a></span></dt>
<dd><p>Used for matches from a search command.  (See <a href="Searching-Commands.html">Searching an Info File</a>.)
</p></dd>
</dl>

<p>Each of these is given in the <samp>.infokey</samp> file just as the variables 
in the previous chapter.  Their values are a comma-separated list of 
values in the following table:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt id='index-Colored-foreground'><span><code>black</code><a href='#index-Colored-foreground' class='copiable-anchor'> ¶</a></span></dt>
<dt><span><code>red</code></span></dt>
<dt><span><code>green</code></span></dt>
<dt><span><code>yellow</code></span></dt>
<dt><span><code>blue</code></span></dt>
<dt><span><code>magenta</code></span></dt>
<dt><span><code>cyan</code></span></dt>
<dt><span><code>white</code></span></dt>
<dd><p>Use the color specified for text.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span><code>nocolor</code></span></dt>
<dt><span><code>nocolour</code></span></dt>
<dd><p>Turn off any color that was in effect, using the terminal’s default color.
</p>
</dd>
<dt id='index-Colored-background'><span><code>bgblack</code><a href='#index-Colored-background' class='copiable-anchor'> ¶</a></span></dt>
<dt><span><code>bgred</code></span></dt>
<dt><span><code>bggreen</code></span></dt>
<dt><span><code>bgyellow</code></span></dt>
<dt><span><code>bgblue</code></span></dt>
<dt><span><code>bgmagenta</code></span></dt>
<dt><span><code>bgcyan</code></span></dt>
<dt><span><code>bgwhite</code></span></dt>
<dd><p>Use the color specified for the background.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span><code>bgnocolor</code></span></dt>
<dt><span><code>bgnocolour</code></span></dt>
<dd><p>Use the terminal’s default background color.
</p>
</dd>
<dt id='index-Underlined-text'><span><code>underline</code><a href='#index-Underlined-text' class='copiable-anchor'> ¶</a></span></dt>
<dt><span><code>nounderline</code></span></dt>
<dd><p>Turn text underline on or off.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span><code>standout</code></span></dt>
<dt><span><code>nostandout</code></span></dt>
<dd><p>Turn ‘standout mode’ on or off.  Standout mode entails the use of appearance
modes that make text stand out, and varies between terminals.
</p>
</dd>
<dt id='index-Bold-text'><span><code>bold</code><a href='#index-Bold-text' class='copiable-anchor'> ¶</a></span></dt>
<dt><span><code>regular</code></span></dt>
<dt><span><code>nobold</code></span></dt>
<dd><p>Turn boldface on or off.
</p>
</dd>
<dt id='index-Blinking-text'><span><code>blink</code><a href='#index-Blinking-text' class='copiable-anchor'> ¶</a></span></dt>
<dt><span><code>noblink</code></span></dt>
<dd><p>Make the text blink, or not.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>

<p>Here is an sample excerpt from an <samp>.infokey</samp> file:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">#var
link-style=yellow
active-link-style=yellow,bold
match-style=underline,bold,nocolor
</pre></div>

<p>With this, cross-references are all yellow, and active 
cross-references are additionally displayed in bold.  Any search
matches will be shown in bold, and underlined.  Moreover, if there is a 
search match inside a cross-reference, the ‘<samp>nocolor</samp>’ rendition 
style will cancel the yellow color, leaving the text in the match the 
terminal’s default color.  (Note, however, that the rendition styles for 
active cross-references take priority over those for search matches,
so search matches there will still be displayed in yellow.)
