Can't colorize GUI labels

[Disinterpreter]

Describe the bug
Can't colorize GUI labels. In action there are only color tags.

To reproduce
write into dialog big text with different colors

Expected behaviour
It must colorized.

Yeah, this is going to be impossible since there's no colorcoded support by default. So I'm stuck doing weird workarounds that simply don't even work, the text doesn't even display properly to begin with. I don't know why one would have colorcoded support for mostly everything else, but not for CEGUI based things.

Here's what I quickly wrapped up anyway, credit goes to Patrick and Sarrum for the regex:

function guiSetTextCustom( parent, inputstr ) 
	local words = {}
	local grid = guiCreateGridList(0.5, 0.5, 1.0, 1.0, true, parent)
	guiGridListSetScrollBars(grid,false,false) --This does absolutely nothing, the bars still show regardless, perhaps due to text overflow as in text being cut out?

	for word in inputstr:gmatch("%S+%s*") do
		table.insert(words, word)
	end

	for k,v in pairs(words) do
		local w = dxGetTextWidth ( v, 1, "default", true )
		local listColumn = guiGridListAddColumn(grid, "genericList", w * 0.01)
		

		local items = v:split("\n")
		for k2,v2 in ipairs(items) do
			local row = guiGridListAddRow ( grid )
			guiGridListSetItemText ( grid, row, listColumn, v2, false, true)
		end

		outputConsole('Result: k->' .. k .. ' v->' .. v)
	end

	--guiSetText(parent, inputstr) --Set it anyway
end 

And the output:

There's other ways that I can think of to resolve this:
A. Use dgs which supports colorcoded arguments. https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Resource:Dgs
B. Make dialogs html based and color appropriately?
C. Using dxdrawtext with colorcoding enabled and drawing on top of the UI, but this of course won't work for lists

Option A is easier, but then there's the downfall where you need to add yet another library to the project.

Not keen on having a dependency on another GUI renderer.

Instead of importing all that logic, another option is writing/including logic that creates multiple labels, split up by colour. (And setting the label colours.)

Me neither honestly, I just wrote it down as a possibility. I wonder, would this work right out of the box?

Edit: Nevermind, just noticed the vendor version being earlier (0.4.0), so not supported it seems.

Those formatting tags look good. @Lpsd is working on the dream of updating CEGUI. multitheftauto/mtasa-blue#1459
