How do I color, merely some but NOT all, text in a sentence in HTML5?
- How do I color — some but NOT all — text in a sentence, in HTML5?
My corporation has a discussion forum that uses HTML and/or CSS. I'm uncertain if this forum uses HTML5.- `<font color="red">Color this red.</font>` failed, probably because ["The <font> color attribute is not supported by HTML5"](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/html-font-color-attribute/).
I'm NOT asking about `<p style="color:red;">Red paragraph text</p>` because I want just some but NOT ALL text, in a sentence, coloured. I don't want the whole para. colored!
