Introduction

Many Wiki articles use colors. Unfortunately, in some cased the colors specified in HTML using RGB values are not displayed correctly (it seems to be linked to the browser version used by the editor.)

This script provides a way to load the HTML source code into memory (by using copy, ctrl+c), then using a script to replace the RGB codes in color names, and pasting back the HTML code into the Wiki article.

See Also:  Wiki: Fix Color Issues in Wiki Articles

 

How to use

  1. Download the script from gallery or copy the source code into a local PowerShell script.
  2. Open the Wiki article in edit mode
  3. Go to the HTML source code from the article.
  4.  Copy the entire HTML content in memory. Select all text (ctrl+a) then copy the text (ctrl+C).
  5.  Run the script
  6.  Paste the update HTML code from memory into the article edit window (ctrl+V).
