[Laszlo-dev] dguide: Color chapter

[Lou Iorio]

The text preceding Example 20.3. Coloring text using CSS seems to  
completely contradict what the example shows.

The text says:

OpenLaszlo enables coloring in four ways: 0x000000, #000000,  
rgb(0,0,0), and "black". For now, the best reason to prefer to use the  
hex style 0x000000 is that it always works, whether the color is  
assigned explicitly within the view, or by stylesheet. Color  
assignment by stylesheet fails by name, #hex, or rgb(). Explicit color  
assignment by rgb() fails unless the RGB values are all numerals --  
that is, rgb(0,0,0) produces black, but rgb(FF,FF,FF), which should  
produce white, comes back at compile time as an invalid color.

Coloring of text with fgcolor="foo" is enabled in the same fashions,  
but with the same limitations.

CSS spits out an error if you use 0x000000. How about:

OpenLaszlo enables coloring in four ways: 0x000000, #000000,  
rgb(0,0,0), and "black". Using the format 0x000000 only works for  
explicit assignment; it does not work in CSS. Color assignment using  
rgb() must be specified with decimal values from 0 - 255.

Coloring of text with fgcolor="foo" is enabled in the same fashions,  
but with the same limitations.

In addition, the title of the example, "Coloring text using CSS",  
might be better if changed to "Applying color explictly and with CSS"  
since it shows coloring views as well as text.

If you agree (or have a better idea), I'll make the changes.
