The wiki already has a notation for putting things in color.  See the
http://kristopherjohnson.net/wiki/ColorForthGcd for an example.  The ASCII text
version looks like this:

%BEGINCF%
%WHITE{Greatest Common Denominator - Euclid}% %YELLOW{macro}%
%RED{2dup}% %WHITE{mn-mnmn}% %CYAN{over over}% %GREEN{;}% %YELLOW{forth}%
%RED{rem}% %WHITE{mn-mnr}% %GREEN{2dup mod ;}%
%RED{notzero}% %DGREEN{ffffffff}% %GREEN{? ;}%
%RED{newvals}% %WHITE{mnr-nr}% %GREEN{push nip pop ;}%
%RED{result}% %WHITE{mnr-n}% %GREEN{drop nip ;}%
%RED{gcd}% %WHITE{mn-d}% %GREEN{rem notzero if newvals gcd ; then result ;}%
%ENDCF%

This is a little verbose; a simpler notation would be helpful.  I'd be willing
to enhance the wiki software to handle any notation that is reasonably easy to
parse.
