Details

The result is an xml string. It is possible to paste multiple fmt_txt() strings together to create a string with differing styles. It is possible to supply different underline styles to underline.

Using fmt_txt(charset = 161) will give the Greek Character Set

charset	"Character Set"
0	"ANSI_CHARSET"
1	"DEFAULT_CHARSET"
2	"SYMBOL_CHARSET"
77	"MAC_CHARSET"
128	"SHIFTJIS_CHARSET"
129	"HANGUL_CHARSET"
130	"JOHAB_CHARSET"
134	"GB2312_CHARSET"
136	"CHINESEBIG5_CHARSET"
161	"GREEK_CHARSET"
162	"TURKISH_CHARSET"
163	"VIETNAMESE_CHARSET"
177	"HEBREW_CHARSET"
178	"ARABIC_CHARSET"

222	"THAI_CHARSET"
238	"EASTEUROPE_CHARSET"

You can join additional objects into fmt_txt() objects using "+". Though be aware that fmt_txt("sum:") + (2 + 2) is different to fmt_txt("sum:") + 2 + 2.
