Colorized List Formula

I currently have a text formula that creates a list that looks like this:
List("\n",ToText( [Field 1])&" "&"Width",
ToText([Field 2])&" "&"Length",
ToText([Field 3])&" "&"Depth")

I want this list to be colorized so i created a formula like so:
"<span style=\"color:red;font-weight:bold;\">"&  [Colored List]&"</span>"

But when It displays it doesn't display as a list, it simply displays everything in one line.

What am i doing wrong? Thank you.

      I believe you need to 'style' each individual item WITHIN the list function.

      however, I'm sure you will have to style things differently in total to get that affect.

      You will need to embed your html into the list code:

      List ("\n","<span style='color:red;font-weight:bold;'>"ToText([Field 2])&"</span>"...


      The \n is a newline character, which works for regular formulas. Once you check the "allow some HTML" you now need to use the HTML new line character. I just tested in a dummy app to confirm this works:
      "<span style=\"color:red;font-weight:bold;\">" & List("<br />",[Field1] & " Width",[Field2] & " Length",[Field3] & " Depth") & "</span>
