Note 1: Unquoted text that is not a command is considered to be a variable. Variables are, by default, italicized.
Note 2: There are three custom fonts: serif (with serifs), sans serif (without serifs), and fixed (monospaced). To change the actual fonts used for custom fonts and the fonts used for variables (unquoted text), numbers and functions, use Format > Fonts.
Note 3: For all coloring, the color will apply only to the text immediately following the command until the next space is encountered. In order to have the color apply to more characters, place the text you want in color in curly brackets.
