-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
 It would be rather nice to be able to color specified text items (like
 [*bold]) when writing layout in Quickbook.  Perhaps some syntax like

 [?red This should be in red.]

 where ? is some squiggle, and the color names are in the list of HTML
 colors.

 or [?#FF00FF This should be in purple.]

 where ? is some squiggle, and the hex values is the RGB color.

 (But though I can't really see a real need for the full gamut of colors,
 hex format RGB might be simpler to implement?)
