Output tags

Function print.it supports links, colors, images, etc. For it use tags in text. Similar to HTML tags. Also text must start with <>. It works only when text is displayed in the editor's output panel, not when in console.

For most tags use this format: <tag>text<> or <tag attribute>text<>.

For these tags use <tag>text</tag>: <code>, <_>, <\a>, <fold>.

These tags don't have a closing tag: <image "attribute">, <nonl>.

Attribute can be enclosed in ' or ". If attribute omitted, text is used as attribute if need for that tag.

Tags can be nested, like <b><c green>text<><> or <b>text <c green>text<> text<>.

Examples:

print.it("<>Text <i>italic<>, <c green>color<>, <link http://www.example.com>Link<>.");
print.it("<>Code example:\r\n<code>mouse.click(10, 20); //comments</code>");
