Default is to display text as normal text.
A line can also be divided into more lines, all of them animated the same way, by using the character "\n" in the line of text. A group of lines will be centered off the widest line in the group.
The applet's author says in retrospect that using the format: <tag> to specify tags in the message lines was not a good idea as it breaks the parsing of the <APPLET> tag for non-Java enabled browsers.
