Answer 1

Use css

You can't really make up your own custom tags, but you could fake it.

Use for green and to close the block
for red and to close the block

Then do a series of find and replace all in your editor
replace with
replace with

You can also use a macro preprocessor to do basically the same thing, web pre processor(wpp) is one example.

Answer 2

Use the style attribute on the td

Answer 3

Also, the color="green" will only work in the Microsoft javascript browsers. You could set up an array of your colors. Then call by color[3]. Or you could set up CSS stylesheet.

Answer 4

You should use CSS. To add to Vegan's post - all the TDs can be colored using the td selector.

Answer 5

You can't get any shorter than that aside from entering the HEX number.
