Format system for sources/author/colors

hello,

i am beginner with Obsidian and I need some help to figure out if I can import all my pkm.
i would really like to use it for its ability to link/backlink, graph view, etc… tools.

so here is an exemple of my db.
i have been working with macos numbers. this exemple treat about Ares god.
i use colors for authors sources,
opacity for the veracity of the source,
tab/indentation to make sub categories within cells,
italic for TBC
etc…etc…

the problem in Obsidian is that it is impossible to work with colors (i ve noticed that links are desabled within <></>

the only format i can use in plain text is italic/bold/stroke
all other options requires complicate <></> input : thus interracting with markdown functions

i really dont know what to do with this
i would at least like to find a solution for my colors (source/authors veracity/tbc) : how can I simply and visually mention that in my notes
its been years i walk around Obsidian, try to get into it but giving up (scared to spend most of my time coding/fixing then working)

also that exemple is a small part out of thousands of db, so i cannot make multiple table one by one. i would spend the whole year to move to obsidian

hope i ve been clear enough in my explanation
