I’ve done some googling to see what’s going on here, and obviously Glulx needs to be more complex than Z-machine for setting this sort of thing up.
But I wanted to be able to add colors to the cluing for a post-comp version of Shuffling Around. Below represents my first try. Apparently you only get two custom styles as things stand, and I wasn’t able to add a third that would register. What am I doing wrong as a total Glulx text effects noob? The below prints the text ‘special-style-3’ instead of changing text.
Thanks again!

when play begins:
initialize user styles;
room 1 is a room. “This is a colorless room that contains nothing [first custom style]red[roman type] or [second custom style]green[roman type] or [special-style-3]blue[roman type].”
every turn:
say “[blue]”;
section blues (for Glulx only)
to say blue:
say “[special-style-3]blue[roman type]”
