It's impossible to use color with any other font modifications

I just spent several minutes trying to make a sentence both bold and green at the same on another thread, and kept failing. It seems to be because the <font></font> tag interferes with every other tag. Whenever I tried to use both, the font would lose its color and the tag would show up in the post.

Of course, there’s also the issue demonstrated above in my attempt to reproduce it.

testtesttest

For the record, here’s both examples in plan text:

<font color=red>**testtesttest**</font>

<font color=red>testtesttest
------------
</font> (This one started working over the course of the edit. No idea why)

Try to repro on http://try.discourse.org and if it repro’s report it on http://meta.discourse.org

Use HTML tags not Markdown.

<font color=red>
<b>bold</b>
<u>underline</u>
</font>


bold
underline
