Features: HTML Formatting

By default, resw files do not support text emphasis, which makes it more difficult to localize strings using the font style (bold, italic, underline, strike, etc.).

ReswPlus tries to solve this problem, allowing you to use HTML tags to format your strings and apply the style you want to a full string or only a part of it. This feature was created with performance in mind, to ensure that your user interface remains fluid and highly responsive, using instead of or XAML controls.
