A few words between < and > are tags:
| Tag | Effect |
|---|---|
| a color name | text color |
<b> |
strong, the same as ** |
<i> |
emphasis, the same as * |
<rev> |
reverse (swapped foreground and background) |
<br> |
a line break |
<center> |
centers the block, at its very start only |
Plain, <b>strong</b>, <i>emphasis</i>, <rev>reverse</rev>.
<yellow><rev> WARNING </> and back to normal.

Plain, strong, emphasis, reverse.
WARNING and back to normal.
Rules
- Only these exact names are tags. Anything else between
<and>is printed as written:<3,a < b,<hello>. - Styles add up. A color tag replaces the current color;
<b>,<i>and<rev>add their effect.<yellow><rev>is yellow and reversed. - Closing: the short form
</>or the full form</name>(</yellow>,</b>, …). Any closing tag resets all inline styling to the style of the surrounding role. There is no nesting. - The end of a block resets all inline styling.
- Tag names are case-insensitive:
<YELLOW>works.
<red>red <b>red and strong</b> back to normal</red>.
