Well, to clarify. I write in Microsoft Word (not my choice) or raw HTML. I
combine it all in RoboHelp and then publish HTMLHelp and PDF files.

The coloring is specific to lines (comments) or single words (function
and method names, parameters and variables). This can result in 3 or 4
colors appearing in the same line. Trying to do this via a style sheet
would be even more labor intensive than manually changing the code as
I would have to add the markup manually (DIV or SPAN tags; on the
grounds of maintainability and portability, I will not ever use FONT tags).

I cannot see a way to automate this so, all in all, this would mean me
having to manually 'massage' several hundred lines of code, spread
over several hundred individual HTML topics.

Simon.
