There's no API for that yet. What do you need it for?

I had bbcode text. and tag text, which could draw text with multiple colors, or with shadows, embedded images.

Wow Rex, nice! Anything similar for SpriteFonts, to do multiple colors or fonts within the same sentence?

I'm just updating the docs after release. The main class is IWebGLText. I should have updated the SDK download with a sample plugin shortly as well.
