[tag name] [style properties string]
@effect
Style to be applied only to text between style \..\.
+ When creating "paired" tags, like \\, A '+' should be added at the start of the style properties of the first part (\).
+ If the second part (\) is also defined, a '-' should be prepended to it's style properties.
+ This only applies to paired tags; Single tags, like \, must not include a starting '+'.
