I've been using HTML in the group titles in my bb-hosts, to spruce up the look of the hobbit page. Example:

group-except files <font color="#33ebf4"><strong><i>Internal Servers</strong></i></font>

Now I've come to a situation where I may want to create a paging alias that is tied to a particular group. My first question is, will I have to use the same HTML-ized name in hobbit-alerts.cfg as I did in bb-hosts? In other words:
GROUP=<font color="#33ebf4"><strong><i>Internal Servers</strong></i></font>
     MAIL user-a1b39a525b29@xymon.invalid

My second question is, why is there no option to define alerts by CLASS (bb-hosts has a CLASS:Classname option)?  This would allow more granular alert definitions as you could have a class of clients that are in multiple groups that you would want to have a specific alert for.

Thanks,
