Are you referring to x11-color, or normal colors? If it's x11, I
really don't think it's worth keeping them in the docs at all. If
you're curious though, search the mailist archives. Trevor Baca made
a .ly file that demonstrates them all; I think this was approximately
two years ago.
would it be useful to
include a colour sample next to the colour name to help the user
chose the
right colour? This could just be included from within texinfo (could
it?) if
there is something like @colorbox available. I just deduced from
Latex...
Of course this is possible! Please add a snippet to LSR... although
I'd recommend only doing this for color, not x11-color.
Ok, I was thinking just about enhancing the table from the color names
to show also the colors. I have an example here done with Latex. I have
no clue how to include it into texinfo, which obviously supports only
plain tex. So there are no colour. Could it be rendered as a pdflatex
document and included into the docs at the appropriate place, thus
replacing the current table? Or do I need to think how to do this thing
in lilypond? I was also thinking that if doing it that way the X11
colours would be more useful because one can immediately see how they
will look. I just didn't find where they get defined inside of lilypond.
