There's an easier way to do this.  Just add the following to config.php:

   $WikiStyles['RED']['apply'] = 'block';
   $WikiStyles['RED']['color'] = 'red';

and then %RED% will be the same as %block color=red%.


You can also define it within the page itself by using:

   %block color=red define=RED%

This is a good candidate for placement in a GroupHeader page, too.
