1. RGB, e.g., #0F0
2. RGBA, e.g., #0F0F
3. RRGGBB, e.g., #00FF00
4. RRGGBBAA, e.g., #00FF00FF

Margin Values

Supports the following formats:

1. 10 → left=10 top=10 right=10 bottom=10
2. 10, 20 → left=20 top=10 right=20 bottom=10

4. 10, 20, 30, 40 → left=10 top=20 right=30 bottom=40

Things to Keep in Mind

1. When customizing Markups, it is recommended to use HypertextTextSpan or HypertextWidgetSpan to help inherit styles from parent WidgetSpan for text within it.

TODO

• ☑️ Improve selectability: Add built-in selectability options and pass selectability to WidgetSpan.
