Haxe

but no worries if not, I can hunt around for a workaround

ill have a quick play, but doesnt sound good if applyMarkup is bugged

```haxe
var f = new FlxText(10, 50);
f.text = "bob";
f.color = FlxColor.BLACK;
f.applyMarkup("this is some text <#FF0000>that will <#00FF00>be<#00FF00> formatted <#0000FF>in<#0000FF> various different<#FF0000> ways", [
 new FlxTextFormatMarkerPair(new FlxTextFormat(0xFF0000), "<#FF0000>"),
 new FlxTextFormatMarkerPair(new FlxTextFormat(0x00FF00), "<#00FF00>"),
 new FlxTextFormatMarkerPair(new FlxTextFormat(0x0000FF), "<#0000FF>"),
]);
FlxG.state.add(f);
```

although the docs state that nesting _does_ work

I've had issues with FlxText formatting only using the first FlxTextFormat

I think I wasn't even able to turn off the format once set

right, even the example in the docs doesnt work correctly... 😦

```haxe
var yellow = new FlxTextFormatMarkerPair(new FlxTextFormat(0xFF0000), "@");
var green = new FlxTextFormatMarkerPair(new FlxTextFormat(0x00FF00), "<g>");
f.applyMarkup("Hey @Buddy@, what <g>is<g> going @on<g>?<g>@", [yellow, green]);
```

ended up working round it by having the text that was a different colour always appear at the end of the FlxText, not very elegant

so, <@!707940831197134909> - if you can be bothered / have time to work out a pure flixel way to turn this into the correct formated FlxText:

```
this is some text that will be formatted in various different ways
```

id be happy to integrate it into haxeui-flixel as its htmlText

shame its not working, would have been pretty easy if that would have worked... the nesting is going to be the pain

wonder if its more feasible to fix applyMarkup in flixel

I don't know if it's just an openfl thing or if it's because I have 200 sliders but it seems pretty laggy

200 sliders _is_ alot... esp considering that each one is multiple sprites

but i wouldnt have thought it should cause a huge issue personally

yeah I was wondering if having a check to set them as inactive when off screen would be good

i think setting them as inactive when offscreen would have to be an openfl optimisation

i cant remember but do sliders in openfl have inner dropshadows?

I've had to do it for Flixel games but not sure if the active/inactive goes as far down as OpenFl
