What issue do you have?

I'd like to add color to text. I have tried the plugin "text colorize'. in markdown mode i get code before and after text to colorize. I see only the text in color if in rich text mode. But I don't like to operate in rich text mode because re-ordering lists in rich text mode is difficult/impossible. In markdown I can use alt-arrow to manually re-order.

Am I missing some setting or plugin or command, that will let me colorize text in markdown (and not be seeing the code), or manually re-order in rich text. and then be able to use 'text colorize'.

The code that the plugin adds in the Markdown editor panel colorizes the text in the Markdown viewer panel. Press Ctrl+L to switch the Markdown editor/viewer layout. With the plugin’s code added to the editor, switching to the viewer or split view (editor and viewer) layout will show colorized text.

Per this plugin's Github repo, it only works with Markdown due to Rich Text limitations: About the Rich Text editor | Joplin

thanks. I had forgotten about the viewer panel, as I don’t use it. I use markdown mode only because there are some things that I can do in it, that don’t seem to work in rich text mode. I don’t intentionally use markdown coding..

If there was a way to manually sort/most entries in rich text mode, I would use it.

I guess text colorizer isn’t what I need.
