<div>Markup languages like HTML add an additional semantic layer to plaintext. If you want to emphasize a word, e. g. the name Gutenberg, you can use tags like <em> or <strong>. This is portable and barrier-free. For example, text-to-speech software for blind users will read emphasized words with another accentuation or a user with a color vision deficiency may use a custom CSS, with a higher contrast. It is also easy to provide the same text in different styles, for example when a website buys an article from a news agency, they don't need to reformat it. This would be a mess with hard-coded styling at plaintext layer. I absolutely see no reason for styling on the plaintext layer.

<p>Alright, let's solve this example problem:</p>
<p> </p>
<p><p>It was printed by <i>Gutenberg</i> in Mainz.</p></p>
<p> </p>
<p>That would be the HTML to structure the text as needed. Any kind of styles, included all possible RGBA colors, can then easily be applied using CSS. This is also possible inline in cases where it's important to have only one file:</p>
<p> </p>
<p><p style="color: green">It was printed by <i style="color: yellow; font-style:normal">Gutenberg</i> in Mainz.</p></p>
<p>(I added font-style:normal because <i> is shown in Italic by default.)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Other possibilities would be BBCode, RichText, ... or any own format you can define.</p>
<p> </p>
