- You can also colorate your text. You just have to use following tag:
<t color='#ffff00'>Your yellow text!</t>
To change the size of your text, use this command:
<t size='2.2'>Your bigger text!</t>
To change text font, use:
<t font='Zeppelin33'>Bold Text</t>
To change horizontal alignment, use (parameter can be 'left', 'center', 'right'):
<t align='center'>Centered Text</t>
To change vertical alignment within a line, use (parameter can be 'top', 'middle', 'bottom'):
<t valign='bottom'>Text at Line Bottom</t>
To underline text, use:
<t underline='true'>Underlined Text</t>
To put shadow under text, use:
<t shadow='true'><t shadowColor='#ff0000'>Text with Red Shadow</t></t>
Following statements are valid too:
<t underline='1'>Underlined Text</t> <t shadow='1'shadowColor='#ff0000'>Green shadow text</t>
Following fonts are valid (got from config):
<t font='Zeppelin32'>Zeppelin32 (normal text)</t> <t font='Zeppelin33'>Zeppelin33 (bold text)</t> <t font='Zeppelin33Italic'>Zeppelin33Italic (bold italic text)</t> <t font='Bitstream'>Bitstream (same as Zeppelin32)</t> <t font='TahomaB'>TahomaB (same as Zeppelin32)</t> <t font='LucidaConsoleB'>LucidaConsoleB (like Courier)</t>

- Although there is a dedicated image command, parseText gives more options:
<img size='5' color='#ff0000' image='fish.paa'/>

- To convert a structured text back to a string type, just use:
_str = str parseText _structuredText;

If you are parsing user-defined strings like player names, you may want to convert special characters to their XML entities as a precaution beforehand:
private _encodedName = _name splitString "&" joinString "&" splitString "<" joinString "<" splitString ">" joinString ">" splitString '"' joinString """ splitString "'" joinString "'"; private _redName = parseText format ["<t color='#ff0000'>%1</t>", _encodedName];
