In addition, you can use {M:} to end a material. This way you can highlight a word in a different color without needing to know the base material.
Weather System {M:RED}ALERT{M:} There's bad weather coming!
I don't know of a way to end a font tag other than knowing what the base font is.

Hey David
You can use font numbers or names such as {46} and {Red_Ariel_Font}.
You can also use materials directly by using M: first so {M:Dark_Grey}

Subject: Xpression. XpTextObject TextWithTags,
I am looking into using the TextwithTags property, but the documentation doesn't explain what the contents of the tags are. I see that they are delimited by {} but I don't know what I can put in them. when looking at one of my text fields I saw "{2}{M:} My text's content". I can guess what that means (2 is the font id and M: might be for material). However, when I look at the few threads that refer to the tags, I see things like {RED} but I don't know where that comes from.
thanks in advance
