The § formatting symbol is ignored in the Title and Author fields of a book.
**
I want to give color or formatting to the Title or Author fields of a book. However, it simply displays the text as "5Title" or "kAuthor".
Here's a command:
/give @p written_book{pages:['["",{"text":"\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n"},{"text":"Curse of Blinding","obfuscated":true,"clickEvent":{"action":"run_command","value":"/effect give @p blindness 60"}}]'],title:"§5Title",author:"§kAuthor"}

I'm pretty sure this is a different problem from MC-133841. Not a duplicate.
That issue is about not being able to paste the character into the text of the book (as far as I understand). This one is about the Title and Author fields specifically ignoring the character and not formatting anything.
It's possible these have the same cause, but they are separate side-effects of the issue and both need to be tracked, not just one. Otherwise you may fix that issue but not this one.
Thank you for your report!
