Wapple Text Formatting (WTF)

Wapple Text Formatting is a mini markup language designed to allow you to easily format sections of text elements on your page.

The language uses tags in the form of [b]some text[/b], and [color=red]some more text[/color], and can be used anywhere that text is required in an element.

IMPORTANT: To use Wapple Text Formatting you need to set the 'make_safe' attribute to 1 in the <chars> element.
