Hello,
how can I define a color inside of say an itemization?
If I say \definecolor[name][color] inside of an itemization, the
definition is lost after the \stopitemize.
Is there something like a \global\definecolor?
Yours

Hi Uwe,
This has bitten me too, in the past. \global doesnt work
with definecolor.
Here is a rude, but reasonably safe solution (that is: it never caused
any harm in my input files, but no warranty):
\globaldefs=1
\definecolor [...][]
\globaldefs=0

as taco said, this can be rude (problematic), if really needed i can
implement \doglobal\definecolor [nb: global must be applied several times
inside definecolor]
just curious: why do you need to globally redefine colors? maybe a solution
like
\definecolor[color-a][red]
\definecolor[color-b][color-a]
etc is better

I need it for XML processing. Colors in my input are
encoded as hex values as in HTML, but they tend to be
the same over ander over again so I want to cache
the names somewhere (calling \definecolor all the time is
quite expensive).

ok, next version will have \defineglobalcolor (i can send you a new
colo-ini if needed, also needs recent version due to color separation support)
