Description
Brief summary:
Create an object that can hold multiple related fonts (Font-Regular, Font-Bold, Font-Italic, etc) to allow for an easy swap in both the editor's text element as well as inline via markup.
Example:
this.entity.element.text = "pre " + "[b]bold text[/b]" + " post";
would appear as "pre bold text post"
Unity's TextMeshProUGUI Editor example:
In this example, all letters are auto-capitalized.
