Is it possible to format text in the subtitle so that some words (numbers) are bold or italicized or different color?

you could use math formatting to do that, say:  
`\mathsf\mathbf\textcolor{red}{e=mc^2}`

Thank you for your advice; how shall I paste it? If I type something like

```auto
subtitle: "\mathsf\mathbf\textcolor{red}{e=mc^2}"

```

I see only \mathsf\mathbf\textcolor{red}{e=mc^2} without color and without math formatting of the formula.

Ah, you’re passing in a String there. Use backticks: ``
