Text colour works in edit preview but not in saved post
I entered the following markdown into an answer I posted recently:

```text
### ImageMagick
> <p style="color:red">An error occurred while installing rmagick (4.2.6), and Bundler cannot continue.</p>
```

I wasn't sure if the red colour would work, but I tried it to find out.

In the edit preview, it looked like this:

![Preview text with red colour showing](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/yh5rtf7b9y3y1k72khdlo17cy38w)

However, after pressing save the rendered answer looked like this:

![Rendered text after pressing save with no red colour showing](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/izzdl3vwkpp79mlignajv3d7bbv3)

I don't mind whether Codidact posts support setting the colour of text or not, but it would be useful to have consistent behaviour between the preview and the saved post.
