<font size="" color="" background="" roundback="yes/no" mode="" outlinecolor="" outlinewidth="pt">

<span background="" roundback="yes/no">

The font size can be specified as a standard HTML size, or a point size such as "11.5pt". The outline width must be specified in points, for example "1.5pt".

Text and background colors can be specified in RGB using the standard HTML hexadecimal notation, for example "#3A498C". CMYK colors can be specified using eight hexadecimal values and omitting the #, for example "5C238F02".

If the roundback attribute is "yes", the background rectangles will be drawn with rounded edges.
