text tag configuration in rubytk

[Len Lawrence]

In the following code snippet I am trying to configure a tagged field
in a text widget but cannot figure out the syntax for the command.
The rubytk_en site seems to be down permanently so I have to ask
here. None of the other online documentation goes deep enough to
cover this topic.

month = Calendar::Month[k-1]
text = sprintf( " %3s %02d : %s\n", month, d, @@diary[j]
[2] )
$w.insert( 'end', text )
entry += 1
colour = Coding[Codex

][2]
$w.addtag( 'zib', "#{entry.to_s}.14", 'end' )

What I wish to do is translate the Tcl command

$w tag configure "zib" -foreground $colour

to rubytk.  Any pointers?

I found the addtag method by trial and error but that approach did not
work for configure; i.e. there is no configuretag method.

Some more trial and error gave this, which works:

text = .....
$w.insert( 'end', text )
entry += 1
endpoint = sprintf( "%d.%d", entry, text.length )
colour = .....
$w.addtag( (t = "zib#{entry}"), "#{entry.to_s}.14", endpoint )
$w.tag_configure( t, 'foreground' => colour )
