I believe that is due to it being an inline tag, thus doesn’t work with a block format.

Agree, this is a feature request, the format for the color plugin, I guess would be:

```plaintext
[color=red]

some

multi 

line

[/color]

```

It is a rather complex change cause it would have to “invent” nested inline tags.
