Oh.  Well, is there any way to set my custom wikistyle colors in my
css file, instead of in local/config.php?

In my skin's css file, I put, for instance

.myblued { color: #2b596a;   }
.bgmyblued { background-color: #2b596a;   }

And those work for regular text,

%myblued%myblued, bgmyblued%%
%bgmyblued white%myblued, bgmyblued%%

but I can't use the background one to set the background color of a
table cell -- neither of these works:

(:cell bgmyblued:) myblued, bgmyblued
nor
(:cell bgcolor=bgmyblued:)  myblued, bgmyblued

(or, actually, the second one does fill the cell's background, but
with a different color entirely).
