Scribble allows for many kinds of inline formatting tags. Please read the Text Formatting article for more information.

Scribble uses a cache to help manage memory. When calling scribble_draw() with a string, Scribble will check if that string is currently in the cache. If the string cannot be found in the cache then Scribble will generate a new text element for you and add it to the cache, and that text element will be automatically garbage collected by Scribble if it has not been drawn for a certain period of time (defined by the SCRIBBLE_CACHE_TIMEOUT macro). If you'd like to control whether a specific text element will be garbage collected, please use scribble_cache().
