To have multiple items put commas between the close paren ) and the next PROP:
or between Props
e.g. [31763(700),31762(16711680)]This should be blue and bold
or
  '[' & PROP:FontColor  & '(' & color:Blue & |
  '),' & |  !<<< comma here
  PROP:FontStyle & '(' & FONT:Bold &')]This should be blue and bold|' & |

Use Prop:Left and Prop:LeftOffset() to control Left Margin.

The easy way to do this is with the CWA Popup WYSIWYG Designer. Although ABC
only supports Prop:Icon
