BIS fancy hints

[UbiquitousUK 11]

In previous ArmA games, tutorials were delivered via hints. This remains true in ArmA III, but the hints now seem a lot fancier: they have a title bar that is colour-coordinated with the GUI and they start collapsed with text along the lines of "press [H] to expand". I know that I can create a very simple hint via the scripting command

hint "hint text";

but does anyone know how to implement one of these modern BIS style hints?

Just like ordinary hints, but with structured text instead of normal string.

hintSilent parseText format["<t size='1.25' color='#ff0000'>Fancy text.</t>"];

See this for more available options.
