Need to know the following:

- a list of all the fonts you want to be available for this (found in \data\Menu\Pages\Menu_1024_768) and whether you want that font to be able to be bolded and what colors you want available for that font (if any)
- a list of all the colors you want to be available for each font (can be ANY color as the color is specified in RGBA format - 0xRRGGBBAA where RR, GG, BB, and AA are values of 0-255. The font, by default, being used is Univ_11

I have added the ability to bold text. There is one slight problem with it though. As the base text color is 0x101010FF (almost dark black) I can't make the bold text be 0xFF (solid black) because it won't stand out. We have to assign bold text a color. What should it be? Red, green, ??

EDIT:

Tried changing the bold to a color and it didn't look right. So I tried something else: increased the font size and made the color solid black:

I think that looks acceptable for bold text no?

You bold text by wrapping it in <b>....</b> tags where .... is the text to be bolded

Now we should be able to imbed images in the text also. Going to try and make that work now.....

EDIT2:

Wouldn't you know it, no documentation on the stylesheets the game uses either

I have no way of knowing what properties the stylesheets can use

Once again have to rely on code to do my dirty work

Although the ScriptManager says you can use <img> tags in the stylesheets, without documentation it's worthless. I'll try coding something to allow images to be specified in the text.
