TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
If you use CSS, and if you have a list of words/ terms that need to be
colored, you could (and this is the only choice I could see that would be
even remotely viable) search and replace like this:
You don't, in other words, have to do it manually. But if the list of terms
is extensive, it's not much of a solution. Is there such a thing as a search
and replace batch file or something that would take a list and do it
automatically?
