Inline Formattin'

Inline formattin' allows ye t' format words an' phrases within yer text content. Ye do this by wrappin' th' text with angle brackets, an' then use line formattin' syntax t' determine th' change in style.

T' do this, choose a song an' open th' song editor from th' menubar. Ye can then place special characters after th' beginnin' angle bracket t' add formattin' like this:

This will be <*bold> text.
This will be </italicized> text.
This will be <!bold and italicized> text.
This will will be <_underlined> text.
This will be <\backslanted> text.
This will be <&red:red> text.
This will be a <#6677F0:custom color> usin' HTML color codes.
This will be highlighted in <>yellow:yellow> text.
This will be a <!_&red:>yellow:combination of a few things> here.
This will be <NEW0.75:75% smaller> text.
This will be <NEW24:24 point> text.
This will be <$Courier:monospaced> text.

• Bold words by addin' an asterisk character.
• Italicize words by addin' a forward slash.
