Text Formatting
Text formatting codes are used to create fancy colorized text, they are prefixed with a grave symbol `.
After using a formatting code such as `o (italic), it has to be reset, otherwise it will continue until the end of the text.
info
Some older maps may use the deprecated § section symbol to specify formatting codes.
This symbol should be avoided in favor of the ` grave symbol wherever possible for all new maps.
Examples
<item name="`iFrozen `rWater" material="snowball"/>
<line>This is one of three of `9Blue Team`r's victory monuments.</line>
<item name="`1Blue `4Red `rNone" material="book"/>

The magic formatter will convert all the text after it into a scrambled, constantly changing mess of letters.
note
Reset (`r) will clear all previous color and text styles after a specified length in a text line.
To have a line all italic and one word red you will have to to do the following.
<!-- Everything is italic and the word "italic" is also red -->
<line>`oThis is an `citalic `r`otext with a single red word.</line>
