The World Factbook Entries use HTML

Actually that would be BB Code and not HTML.

Here's an example from w3schools of HTML

<html>
<body bgcolor="yellow">
<h2>Look: Colored Background!</h2>
The content of the body element is displayed in your browser.
</body>
</html>

Both of these ways of expressing color works.

(color=red]Red Text[/color]
(color=#ff0000]Red Text[/color]

These also works:
(hr] <horizontal rule or line
(i]italics[/i]
(u]underlined[/u]
(b]bold text[/b]
(color=white]invisible text[/color]

** Changed the first bracket to "(" so you can see the coding. This bracket needs to be "[" to work.
