i was wondering, is there a way to make it so like say i loaded external text file to display text on my page that said:

2/04/04  
Today i became a god, tomarrow i will eat a twinkie.

Could i make the “2/04/04” part like red and the rest of the text black so like i can make:

2/05/04  
Today i became a god, tomarrow i will eat a twinkie.

2/04/04  
Today i became a god, tomarrow i will eat a twinkie.

and make the dates red and the reg text black? :pa:
