Dan,

I wasn't aware of that possibility. I tried to extend it to colours, but the following does not work:

Attempt to provide +++<font color="#d3173c">some colour</font>+++ in a line of text.
Attempt to provide +++<font color=#d3173c>some colour</font>+++ in a line of text.

I also had a look at making life easier when working with changing font sizes, by doing this:

:smallfont: +++<font size=".5em">
:largefont: +++<font size="1.5em">
:endfont: </font>+++

The word {smallfont}small{endfont} is smaller than the rest of the line. 
The word {largefont}big{endfont} is bigger than the rest of the line.

Unfortunately, the above does not work.

Marc.
