Label Formatting

XBMC has a sophisticated label formatting engine, allowing the skinner to format up a particular label using bold, italics, full caps, lower case, and coloured text.

This works on all labels throughout the interface. The syntax is similar to the "phpBB" syntax seen on some bulletin board software.

The $INFO and $LOCALIZE syntaxes are explained in more detail here.

Examples
This is a long label that features different [COLOR red]colours[/COLOR] and [I]styles[/I].

[LOWERCASE]$LOCALIZE[12345][/LOWERCASE] can be used to force a localize string to lowercase.
