3. Colorize text
Colorizing is enabled in tables without additional macros (see HelpOnTables).
See also How can I colorize my text? in the FAQ.
Or install the Macro Color2 except of the font it worked also in 1.7.1
4. Colorize code (Syntax Highlighting)
There are several ways to highlight code:
Start a special code block containing the parser's name: {{{#!parsername
Embed a file attachment bearing a supported extension (such as ".py") with {{attachment:test.py}}
Begin a page with the format processing instruction: #format parsername
To see the list of supported languages see HelpOnParsers.

7.1. Nesting curly braces
As pointed out on HelpOnParsers, you can nest multiple levels of curly braces:
{{{{
This is a preformatted text block.
{{{ with curly braces inside }}}
}}}}is rendered as:
This is a preformatted text block.
{{{ with curly braces inside }}}
8. Superscript & Subscript
You might recall ''a''^2^ + ''b''^2^ = ''c''^2^ from your math lessons, unless your head is filled with H,,2,,O.
Result:
You might recall a2 + b2 = c2 from your math lessons, unless your head is filled with H2O.
9. Colorized Code, Method #1
{{{#!python
from colors import palette
palette.colorize('python')
}}}Result:
