For some objects, such as the Ticker and the Table object, you can use inline formatting HTML-like tags to change some features of the text or cell. This can be extra useful if the text is data connected and updated from somewhere else. For example: If you have a Ticker with stock quotes, you might want the text to be red of the stocks go down, but black if the stocks go up.


This could easily be achieved with a text like this: 
<color:black>ABC <color:red>-2.5 <color:black> DEF <color:green>3.0
