Changing font attributes for diff text

I have a script that checks for differences between baselines.  When something has been added, the item becomes blue and underlined (the default).  After reading the DXL Manual, I saw that I am able to change this behavior.  Because underscores are hidden behind this text, I want to change the diff function to make the text blue and italics instead.  I have tried:

diff(bufResult, bufSource, bufTarget, "\\cf1\\strike ", "\\cf3\\i ");

as well as

diff(bufResult, bufSource, bufTarget, "\\cf1\\strike ", "\\cf3\\italics ");

but when I perform the diff function, new items don't get any formatting at all.

So what am I doing wrong?  Any and all help is very much appreciated.

I tried out your formats "\\cf1\\strike ", "\\cf3\\i " in the script example of diff function (see DXL reference) and they worked fine. Maybe you should see how that example works and based on that code check your own code.
