Just to add to the confusion, the [green][/green] Tags do not work on Custom menu's.
From looking at LV's scripts, you have to use the \033Y%s\003X.
Although... the default Heading text is white with a black shadow, and using the tags makes the shadow that colour too

And you can use sprintf to format [xxx]%s[/xx] tags by just typing them in (to the sprintf command)
But, \033X's have to be loaded from a text file

The same problem with coloured names of sectors... BLANK SCREEN with mission messages. How to solve?

Dude, did you just ask a question that this thread totally solved about a hundred years ago?

A few posts up, someone posted a great formating library script. Make every logbook message fire through that and you'll be fine.

That library link from UniTrader seems to be defunct ...

Anyone else have it?

Ok, I am trying to get coloured text in a subtitle but the darned game is refusing to play ball... any thoughts?

I have tried following both conventions.

Interesting.

I can get it to work, but subtitles have to be strings or they won't show; though, you probably know that if you've formatted with colours.

Posting code would help.

I will be posting v0.1 of the script (without colours) shortly, you will be able to see for yourself then. But it aint exactly rocket science.

EDIT: Now posted here.
