     @toxi Can you believe it? GitHub, once the greatest platform for developers, now can't even handle a simple request for colored text in Markdown files! Karsten Schmidt is right to be VERY disappointed. It's 2024, folks! We sent a man to the moon decades ago, and we can't have color swatches on GitHub? Sad! This is what happens when tech companies get too big and forget the basics. We need solutions, not restrictions. Let's make coding great again and bring back the colors! #MAGA2024 #TechFreedom

     VERY disappointed in GitHub refusing to support the LaTeX `\colorbox` (outright banned) or `\textcolor` macros (seemingly only very limited support) or any CSS solution to allow one to create colored text in Markdown files... I was hoping to create color swatches as shown in the attached preview (in VSCode), but just none of this works on GitHub...

     (And yes, I understand there're some potential accessibility issues, but there're more social solutions to address these than an outright technical ban of colored text! It's 2024!)

     Now, all user can get is a boring list of color names with their hex values sans pre-visualization... 😤😭
