Local Change of Font Color for particular Citations

Post by marto1980 »

Dear LaTeX users,

I'm revising a manuscript and I need to highlight all changes to the original in red. For normal text things are simple.

Code: Select all

\textcolor{red}{some text}
The problem arises with citations in the text. I am using author-year citations with the natbib and hyperref packages. I have loaded the hyperref package with the option allcolors=black as I want all citations to appear black. But now for the revision I need to color the citations appearing in revised text in red. So I need to be able to change the citation color locally, i.e. example in the \citep or \citet command.

Is it possible somehow?

Best regards,
Martin
