Style guide - Rich formatting

[jeffandersen]

Placeholder for discussion about these facets of the style guide.

Talking points

• Use of color
• Use for formatting (bold, italic, underline)
• Emoji or icon usage
• Graceful degradation for scripting
• Prefs for disabling/enabling

We should come up with the acceptable colour palette @ntassone that goes with the Torus brand.

Discussing offline, we decided that we will rely on formatting options more than color, though color should be used where appropriate. For color, we should stick to the default 16 colors, mainly:

• Red
• Green
• Yellow
• Blue
• Magenta
• Cyan

Color should be used tastefully and function over form, i.e. as a header in a worklog item to draw attention to the most relevant piece of info.
