When I am creating results on a rollable table, I know certain <> bracketed codes do things, like b with /b for bolding text between them.

I know the bold, underline, and italics codes. I forget the code to insert a line break...

After many searches I came up empty. Does anyone have the full list of <> codes that work within table entry text data?

The ones you mention are the only ones that work as far as I know. Line breaks might be /r but I'm not sure on that.

I found the line break one: p and /p inside the <> brackets! I know there are more...

They come in handy when I am forced to use nested tables instead of story templates. That happens a lot... IMO, story templates are the greatest addition to FG- they are fun to make and make my games so rich. I know the devs have tons going on all the time, but MAN I would kill to see story templates get some extra functionality, like the ability to recall specific data from a column of a previously rolled table, or the ability to pass parameters in from the results of other tables rolled. Then I wouldn't have to use nested tables so often!

I would try html codes. They might work.

YES!!! That’s what I’m after! h and /h will be a game changer. I’ve used it before and completely forgot it existed!
