I'm not hundred percent sure we are talking about the same thing, but I
added a binding so that GtkAda also can use markups. So creating a blue
and green label, I would only do this:

   Set_Markup 
      (Label, "<span foreground=""blue"" size=""large"">Blue</span>" &
              "<span foreground=""green"" size=""large"">Green</span>");

However I seem to have forgotten to send it to the GtkAda people so I'll
do that ASAP.
