The text section should be enclosed with tags to specify the formatting. For example: <b>Hello World</b> will make the text "Hello World" to be bold.
If a style has an attribute like in the case of font size and font color, we add a colon to the opening tag and append the attribute after it, for example: <fs:1200>Hello World</fs> will set the text "Hello World" to a font size of 12.
Example
<fc:FF0000><fs:2400><u>Hello</u><i>W<s>or</s>l</i>d</fs></fc>displays as:
