Tokens
When they appear in commands, the tokens color, text, line, and range are shorthand designations for code blocks where there are multiple valid ways to supply the necessary keyword/value information for the command.
color Token
Command reference information for the color token is as follows.
- color keyword
Note color appears as an option within line and text (described below). Each formulation of color begins with “color” (compare this with the text, where it is not necessary to prepend “text” before the keywords). The acceptable command formulations for a color token are as follows.
- s
where s is a valid color name (see table below). In addition, any of the keywords defined in the list of SVG color keyword names (available online at http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/types.html#ColorKeywords) may be used.
- colrrggbb
specifies a color in RGB space where RR, GG, and BB are two-digit hex codes (for instance colFFFFFF is white and col000000 is black).

text Token
Command reference information for the text keyword is as follows.

The text token takes multiple keywords. One or more of these keywords may supplied when a text token is provided. However, not all of the keywords are available in all contexts.
- color color
Specifies the color of the text with a color token (see above).
- family s
Specifies the name of the font family (for instance, “Arial” or “Times New Roman”). (Note that underscores must be used in place of spaces in the name.)
- size i
