I had an idea that could be useful for PbP. Some conventions use different colors for different languages, or to address to different players. Let say you use sienna for orcish, and red for draconic. Some PCs know draconic, some others know orcish, some know both and some know neither. The party enters a room with orcs and kobolds, who shout various things upon seeing the heroes.
The DM could then use code looking like that in his depiction of the scene:
OK, the example is a bit silly, but it's just an example. Essentially, it would work like a combination of the spoiler and the color tags -- making both text and background color of the chosen color, so the kobold speech would be red-on-red and the orc speech would be sienna-on-sienna.

Upon seeing you, the orcs and kobolds infesting this place shout various things. Like, totally.
Oh, dear, another party of adventurers. I bet they'll be willing to hack us to tiny bits once again.
This kind of things always happen when I'm sorting my stamp collection.
I'll say, those adventurers sure are troublemakers.
Well, they are misguided.
Yes, totally misguided! If they want to reach Zangdar's Crypt, they should have turned right, not left like they did to arrive there!

I bet they haven't noticed the traps in the entrance of our cave. Come on, kids, put your safety goggles and enjoy the show!
