printn("this is in *red*, and this is in *blue*", ('red', 'blue'))
printn("I like *green* && *blue*", ('green', 'blue'))

green_in_blue = ('green', 'blue')

# notice tuple in tuple in second parameter
printn("I like *green in blue*", (green_in_blue,))

# with tuples
red =  (255, 0, 0)
blue = (50, 50, 255)
green = (50, 255, 50)
printn('this word is in *red*, and this is in *blue*', (red, blue))
