I'd prefer this kind of syntax, too.  Btw, shouldn't the syntax be:

     $[face :color red :italic t the red italic text]

?? (i.e. the red following the :color keyword, not the ':italic t')


I didn't find a canonical way to make a paragraph or a longer text
passage italic, so I'd love an easy way to get it.


BTW, if simply '$[' is free, why not use this for style, e.g.:

   $[:italic t :bold nil :color teal My italic and teal text]


(sorry for the double mail)
Best regards
Robert
