+Normally, if not redefined by additional style sheets, the text is
+printed in black on a white background.
+You can create text in other colors with the <strong>color</strong> element.
+Which color the output text should become is specified in the
+<strong>colorname</strong> attribute, for example:
+</para>
+
+<verbatim>
+  &lt;color colorname='red'&gt;Red text&lt;/color&gt;
+</verbatim>
+
+<para>
+It is not possible to create any color; there are just a few predefined
+colors available:
+<color colorname='red'>red</color>,
+<color colorname='green'>green</color>,
+<color colorname='blue'>blue</color>,
+<color colorname='cyan'>cyan</color>,
+<color colorname='magenta'>magenta</color>,

+<color colorname='white'>white</color>.
+The last, color (white) is probably invisible :-).

+Apart from the normal font size, there are two other sizes available:
+<strong>big</strong>and <strong>small</strong>.
+These element will make the text slightly bigger or smaller, like this:
 </para>
