How do I go about putting color in the description? I asked shiny_stuff privately,
but I thought maybe others would like to know too.

Thank you,
John

Thanks! I did not know you could do HTML tags in descriptions. Is there anywhere
the allowable tags are listed?

Pretty much all of the basic tags are allowed. You can even use the marquee tag.

You can use HTML to customize your descriptions.

For example, the example given above was probably coded something like the image
below.

The "color=red" in the "font" tag tells the computer to color
the text red.

The "b" tags make the text bold and the "br" tag adds a line
break.

There is also the (rather quirky) ability to modify Unicode character codes with
a typographic color override. I’ve encountered this one time. IIRC, it was a
check mark that most fonts had color on it, which I did not want. So the possibility
exists, but it could be weird getting it to work.
