    Colors​
    Step 1:
    [​IMG]
    You should start by opening the book, everything should be normal and the cursor should be blinking.

    Step 2:
    Next, you should copy and paste the following symbol into your book:

    §

    You can save this symbol in notepad or refer to this post anytime you need to change color. Your cursor should disappear, and you can hit any of the number keys 1-9 or letter keys A-F to change the color of your text.

    The color scheme follows the same format of the regular chat colors. You can refer to my other guide if you want to see your color options: Color and text effect codes | Skyblock Forums

    Step 3:
    You can now type in color! Just paste the symbol again to change to a different color at anytime.

    Effects​
    Step 1:
    Copy the same symbol you use to change color and wait for your cursor to disappear:
    §
    [​IMG]

    Step 2:
    Type 'k','l','m','o','n' or 'r' to achieve different effects, you can check my other guide to see what all of the effects do: Color and text effect codes | Skyblock Forums

    For example, here is what k does:

    You can also mix color and text effects by pasting the symbol once, choosing a color and then pasting it again and choosing an effect.

    Thank you for reading! I hope this helped you :)

    It's a little buggy, you may need to play with it a little to get it right.
