EID uses a custom developed markup language to format rendered texts and add inline icons, custom colors and effects.
Markup usage
Example: {{Heart}} = 
All markup objects start with an {{ indicator, followed by the name of the markup object, and finished off with an }} indicator.
!! Markup is Case Sensitive !!
Markup shortcuts
Some frequently used markup objects do have shortcut representations to make it easier to write descriptions.
Shortcuts:
\1 or ↑ = {{ArrowUp}} = Green "positive" arrow icon\2 or ↓ = {{ArrowDown}} = Red "negative" arrow icon\3 or !!! = {{Warning}} = Yellow "warning" exclamation icon{{CR}} = {{ColorReset}} = Color reset (see Color Paragraph)\7 or \007 = Bulletpoint character (circle)ǂ = {{Hashtag}} = adds a # Hashtag into the description without causing the start of a new line{{Blank}} = Invisible Icon{{IND}} = {{Indent}} = Indents a bullet point. Multiple indent markups in one line can be used to indent a line multiple times
Colors
Colors are
Example: {{ColorRed}} = Colors the following text red

Dynamic Icons
Its possible to render specific item icons as well, using the following markup and replacing the [ITEMID] with the desired id of the item to render.
Modded items work, too, but make sure to use the an dynamic itemid definition like this:
local itemId = Isaac.GetItemIdByName("My Item")
local myDescription = "Some text with my item icon {{Collectible"..itemId .."}}"
Example: {{Collectible1}} will render the "Sad Onion"
as an icon
| Markup |
{{Collectible}} |
{{Collectible[ITEMID]}} |
{{Trinket}} |
{{Trinket[ITEMID]}} |
{{Card[ITEMID]}} |
{{Pill[ITEMID]}} |
| Icon |
 |
|
 |
 |
 (*) |

(*) Cardfront and Pillcolor Sprites are not dynamic. New ones need to be added manually. See this Tutorial for help: Adding Pillcolors and Cardfront sprites
Icon Backgrounds
Its possible to add background images into dynamic icons, by adding an entry to the EID.MarkupBackgroundKeywords table.
Right now, we support "Book of Virtues" as a background image with the keyword Virtues.
To add a background to an icon, simply add the keyword from the table in front of the markup name.
Example: {{VirtuesCollectible655}} =
