Visio txt importer and escape sequences

[tor]

I'm trying to embed escape sequences to format parts of a shape's text in a
plain text file; I know that line breaks and tabs work with \n and \t
respectively, but I need a way to embed a "bold" escape sequence for example;
is that possible at all?

Visio doesn't use escape sequences for text formatting. have a look at
the shapesheet for a shape (and do some formatting with the shapesheet
open).
