How to color text in Markdown/GitLab

Question

I'm trying color text in markdown. In editor preview all looks good, but when I push it to a GitLab repository the text is not colored. How can I color text?

In his beard lived three <span style="color:red">cardinals</span>.

Answer 1

You could try this it seems that Gitlab renders it pretty nice, hope it helps:

$`\textcolor{red}{\text{your text}}`$ 
$`\textcolor{blue}{\text{your text}}`$ 
$`\textcolor{green}{\text{your text}}`$ 

Also there's diff fence:

```diff
- RED text
+ GREEN text
! ORANGE text
# GRAY text
```
