[Noisebridge-discuss] google docs - specific colours for various authors, possible?

[Frantisek Apfelbeck]

I wonder Lee do you know if the collaborators have different colour codes? I think is is this feature right?

If that is the case than we got our tool I think! (and with a lovely name :-)(

Many thanks,

Sorry, you can't make hyperlinked text in etherpad :-(.  But you can in Hackpad (https://hackpad.com), a fork of etherpad. That might be a solution for you. Try it out.

Thanks a lot! I'm glad to be clear on this point. We will go by the edit 
history as Liz is suggesting or we will have to come up with some other 
idea. I have had a look at the etherpad or rather other services of this type before, however I have had some issues with them (I think that I 
needed to copy a text which had links in it (you just clicked on the 
highlighted words and it opened the associated link) and they basically 
disappeared, it transfered just a text and I had to add the links all again). But I will have a look it could be just my mistake and in this case it would be not so important.

(and it kinda bugs me since Google Docs uses some technology from Etherpad which DOES have that feature). Etherpad.com doesn't exist any more but you might want to find another etherpad service and play with that. Though Etherpad won't have all the text formatting capabilities of Google Docs.

work on a book about makgeolli (traditional Korean alcoholic rice 
beverage) using Google docs. If we have one shared file, is there an 
option to dedicate to each author a colour, like for example me green, 
"Dan blue?" I have found that we can put in comments in different colours 
and we can change the colour of the text, but the second has to be done 
word by word or imput by imput rather than just to log in and write 
immediatelly in green respectively blue.
