Sample input:

BitOr ( 7 , 2 )

Sample output:

Function definition: (Copy & paste into FileMaker's Edit Custom Function window)

Case( (x = 0); y;
      (y = 0); x;
     BitOr ( Div(x;2); Div(y;2) ) * 2
     + If ( Mod(x;2) =1 or Mod(y;2) = 1; 1; 0 )
)

The numbers used the new functions TextStyleAdd() and TextColor() are bitmasks. For simple manipulations, + can sometimes be used to combine styles and colors:
RGB( 255, 0, 0 ) + RGB( 0, 255, 0 ) = RGB( 255, 255, 0 )

but for more complex operations, bitwise or operations can be helpful:
BitOr( Bold+Italic, Bold ) = Bold+Italic
