Text Formatting ⇒ How to return the color

[Miad]

Hi,
I think my question is easy, but I couldn't find the answer in previous talks.
I wrote an article and used "\textcolor{blue}" in many parts of it, to clarify the changes between this version of my article and its previous one. However, now I want to finalize it with just black color. I mean I need a totally clean version in black, while my text includes many "\textcolor{blue}" parts.
Please help me.

Welcome to our little community.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tcolorbox}
\colorlet{blue}{black}% Just tell the package to map black to
%the blue name
%or renew the command
%\renewcommand{\textcolor}[2]{#2}
\begin{document}
I am black.\par
\textcolor{blue}{What color am I?}

\begin{tcolorbox}[coltext=red!75!black]
	Butterflies can fly high in the sky.
	\textcolor{blue}{This was a change}
\end{tcolorbox}
\end{document}

Pay attention, you may have bits of text that are not black and should not be black. Or parts where you have colors on purpose, and they should stay colored.

Welcome to the LaTeX community.

A suggestion for future work: instead of using \textcolor{blue}{...} directly in your document defining a macro

Code: Select all

\usepackage{xcolor}
\newcommand\changes[1]{\textcolor{blue}{#1}}

and using that would allow you for the final version just to change the definition into

Code: Select all

\usepackage{xcolor}
\newcommand\changes[1]{\textcolor{.}{#1}}
