I made it always output well-formed HTML by closing all tags whenever there's a control character and reopening them again. This leads to some unnecessarily verbose output, for example (I'm using [B] for \x02, [I] for \x1d, etc):
[B][I]bold italic would lead to <b></b><b><i>bold italic</i></b>[C]02[I]color italic would lead to <font mx-data-color='#00007f'></font><font mx-data-color='#00007f'><i>bold italic</i></font>
In my opinion these unnecessary empty tags are better than the current situation with malformed HTML. I could get rid of them by keeping track of what has been opened in a stack and only closing tags whenever necessary instead of always, but that would make the code a bit more complex. If you think it would be better I can implement it.
