basic information
formatting allows you to change how text looks like.
screens, labels, workshop item descriptions and names(only in game) and more.
how to use formatting
to add formatting for specific part of a massage add <> before and after the part.(the second one isn't needed but it is used to define the end of the section, if you don't use it the rest of the massage will be modified)
inside you have to put text (specific values)to define how do you want to modify the text in between.
i have made a workshop item to show the formatting examples before

if the opacity is too high (100,95 etc.) then you can't see the text
about colors
RGB COLOR
colors(RGB) can be displayed with numbers(example: 24,209,175 or 103,0,255)
the numbers define how much of each color is used (first number is how much Red second one how much Blue and third one how much Green is in the color) 0=none, 255=maximum.
fourth number can be added to specify opacity of the color. black is 00,00,00, white is 255,255,255

HEXADECIMAL

in hex each number is written in hexadecimal format
hexadecimal(or base 16 or HEX) is a format with 16 digits(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, a, b, c, d, e, f)
so 10 in base 10(the numbers we usually use, the ones you learn is school in math) is a in base 16, b=11, c=12, d=13, e=14, f=15.
next is 1 0 whitch equals 16 in base 10
255 in base 16 is ff

HEX COLOR

to type color in hex you type hashtag (#) and put those numbers in HEX after it with no spaces inbetween(black is #000000, white is #ffffff, red is #ff0000, blue is #00ff00, purple is #ffff00)
if you want to specify opacity in hex you need to add two additional digits

green with 20 opacity is #0000ff14, 00(0) red+ 00(0) blue+ ff(255) green+ 14(20) opacity
