Text emphasis can be used when renaming items, creating descriptions, in regular chat or when sending tells, or in many other cases where a text box is presented for input (although not all cases!)
Please note, due to wiki automatically formatting any commands contained within these symbols < >, below in descriptions they will be displayed with spaces between them. When using in game, do not put spaces.
Basic styles[]
Text can be italicized by using < i > at the start of the text you want in italics and < /i > at the end of it.
Bold is similiar, except the letter b is used. < b > and < /b >
Line Breaks[]
When creating custom descriptions in game, you can get a line break by using the $ character.
Colors[]
Text can be given a different colour (although some game mechanics can override this) by using the < C=color > and < /C > tags.
This by doing this < C=red >This is red< /C > i can produce:
This is red
