| < < | Sure. The quickest way is to go <font color="colorCode">colorize</font> - font is an HTML tag that works in any browser, although it's been phased out in the latest HTML specs. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| > > | Note: %<color>% text must end with %ENDCOLOR% . If you want to switch from one color to another one you first need to end the active color with %ENDCOLOR%, e.g. write %RED% some text %ENDCOLOR% %GREEN% more text %ENDCOLOR%. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
