The man page provides the list of variables and attributes that can be
used. Basically, the variable defines the message type (BAD, INFORM,
GOOD, etc) and the attributes define how to display the text for that
variable (basically, fg and bg color, and other attributes like
underlined, blinking, bold, etc.).
