Stylable blocks are written in the following way.

<Text to be formatted:[style code][colour code]>

To get the colour/style codes, check out the Colours and Styles sections. Some example stylable blocks are given below.

<Lorem ipsum:11> // same as, {color: 'black', style: 'bold'};
<Lorem ipsum:34> // same as, {color: 'yellow', style: 'underline'};
<Lorem ipsum:36> // same as, {color: 'magenta', style: 'underline'};
<Lorem ipsum:42> // same as, {color: 'red', style: 'strikethrough'};
