Gideros accepts special escape sequences within the text to modify rendering, in the form of \e[key1=value1,key2=value2,...].

Value can be omitted (and the equal sign too in this case), in which case the effect specified by the key is reset to its default value.

Accepted keys are:

  • color: sets the color of the next characters, in the form #rgb, #rgba, #rrggbb or #rrggbbaa
  • font: specifies the font to use, relevant if the font is a CompositeFont
