Web color tools

I can never find one of these when I need them. Clarence collected links to a whole bunch of them, including a list at Clagnut and another list. Here are a bunch for future reference:

Anyone have any more?

Update (Jan 5): Ultimately I'll be collecting everything here

Thanks. Lists are done like:

* Unordered list item 1
* Unordered list item 2
** Nested
*** Again

# Ordered list item 1
# Ordered list item 2
##i Nested, with type of ordered list specified
##i Another

#A one more type
#A and again

All of my rules are here:
http://keithdevens.com/software/markup_description

(Hmm... I'll have to change that URL... I don't know why it was in the root of my software directory.)

I may update the description above to link to that page. One of the reasons I haven't is because I don't want people using headings, using raw HTML, or making links to porn images or something. My markup library is designed so that for any instance of it being used, I can turn off whatever features I don't want used, but I'm not sure if I've turned enough features off for commments here

Hey, neat. I had forgotten I'd written a simple syntax highlighter for HTML.

Check it out:

<html>

<head>

<title>This is a test</title>

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/stylesheet.css" />

</head>

<body>

<p>Roar!</p>

</body>

</html>

Thanks for the link; I will have to remember to check under the "software" tab next time so if you are worried about possible spamming, you can remove the link posted in your comment.

The syntax highlighter is nice by the way.

Nah, first time that happens I'll be spurred to make sure I've set all the appropriate settings. No big deal at all.
