As the other poster said, you've got to get a bit of familiarity with HTML commands in order to get past the default settings for color, font, size, etc. for a cache listing. It's a bit tedious at first, but worth the effort. The basic commands are listed on some websites. The standard procedure is to enter a command to start a special effect, and then a command to end it.

 

Here's a simple example. First, I used parentheses so they wouldn't actually work, because then you couldn't see what was going on, and then I replaced the parentheses with brackets, and you have the effect:

 

(I)(font="Comic Sans MS")(size="4")(color="#4B0082")(quote)Testing!(/quote)(/color)(/size)(/font)(/I)

 

Testing!
