[MC-73204] Written Books don't keep the color or type of text when signed

If you change the color or type of text in a Book and Quill using the "§" symbol, it does not keep that color or type of text on the next line when signed.

Use JSON text for books.

Sorry, I'm new to this site. I was linked here by someone in the #minecrafthelp channel on IRC.
I noticed that the above mentioned bug was one that I was experiencing, except it's a problem with bold and random text scripts as well colored text. I'm currently using 1.8.1. I wasn't sure if I should create a new issue or just respond to an existing one.
I see that it says "Resolved" but is it resolved in the sense that it's supposed to be fixed or that it's acknowledged that it's a bug and that it's either going to be worked on or nothing can be done about it?

It's resolved as a duplicate of MC-31113 which in turn is resolved invalid.
But this ticket and MC-31113 are refering to the formatting with section sign § symbols. The solution is (quoting myself):

Use JSON text for books.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm not quite sure how to use JSON text to edit books but if all I have to do to get this to work is to input the script each line in a Book and Quill, I think I can live with that.

So, in essence, you are telling me to just use commands to get written books for now on?
