In /opt/local/share/jed/lib/color/black3.sl

set_color("string", "magenta", $2);    % "string" or 'char'
set_color("keyword", "cyan", $2); % if, while, unsigned, ...
set_color("keyword1", "red", $2);    % malloc, exit, etc...

From one of the HTML files I'm currently working on:

<h2
style="color:#000000;background-color:pink;text-align:center;">Mumps
Tutorial - II</h2>

The above line is entirely in cyan.

So step-by-step - how should I be customizing the HTML colors using
HTML2.sl from our famous Guido friend?

First I want to setup the general Jed menu colors and normal text color.
Then I want to setup particular mode colors - HTML mode; mail mode etc.
