Hi Hans,
Indeed as Wolfgang points out, in the file
colo-ini.mkii
it is said that:
%D But let's not forget that we also have the more traditional
%D non||related colors. These show up after:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \showcolor [name]
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D Where \type{name} for instance can be \type{rgb}.
Actually « name » can be also xwi or pra. There another command is also given,
\showcolorgroup, for showing colors such as in:
\showcolorgroup [red] [vertical,name,number]
or
\showcolorgroup [red]
And the following can be used to see the setups:
\showsetups{showcolor}
(Actually in the source there is a mistyping « \showsetup » instead of «
\showsetups »).
Best regards: OK
