These tags can be used to manipulate text messages in command and mission briefings. They don't work in debriefing stages.
Colors
The hue of these colors can be changed with the Colors.tbl but the tags will remain the same.
A note about color tags: The color tag will work on all font until a space is encountered. There must also be a space after the tag and before the text to be colored.
