Text formatting

^ character used as prefix for formatting modifiers.

example: draw bold text with ^btext that must be bold^b

modifiers:

• ^b - toggle bold mode

• ^c - reset color to initial

• ^r - reset formatting

• ^w - text waving effect

• ^s - text shaking effect

• ^#hex_color_code - set color

  examples:

  • ^#FF0000this text is red^c
  • ^#FFFFFF80this text is white with 50% opacity^c
  • ^1#FF8000^ 024^c - way to separate modifier from text digits (will output 1024 without spaces)
