==Description==
A '''rubric''' is a [[word]] or section of [[text]] which is traditionally [[written]] or printed in red ink to highlight it. The word derives from the [[Latin]]: ''rubrica'', meaning red ochre or red chalk, and originates in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval Medieval] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illuminated_manuscript illuminated manuscripts] from the 13th century or earlier. In these, red letters were used to highlight initial capitals (particularly of [[psalms]]), section headings and [[names]] of religious significance, a [[practice]] known as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubrication rubrication], which was a separate [[stage]] in the production of a manuscript.
Rubric can also mean the red ink or paint used to make rubrics, or the pigment used to make it. Although red was most often used, other [[colors]] came into use from the late Middle Ages onwards, and the word rubric was used for these also.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubrics]
