I don't understand.
You want a GM instruction with the read aloud style? Why?
I generally reveal read aloud snippets to the players after I read them. That way they have what ever information was conveyed in the read section (my players not always being good at paying attention when I provide clues or useful data and often needing another chance to get it).

Generally, I put things like that in their own Topic.. Further Information seems especially suited for it ... contained "under" the Topic it came from.
I don't know whether styles for GM Notes or more non-revealable snippet types is the best answer, but one of the two seems useful enough.

Well, yes, but what daplunk wants is to increase the options for the visual appearance for GM Directions.. in order to emphasize some more than others.
That's exactly how I use GM Directions in large chunks of text snippets that are generally for the GM; it's not like you're going to put an entire Article in them just because they're game mechanics. GM Directions are "asides" to the reader. ::shrug::
You could always use GM Directions + different formatting for the text, of course.
Others have suggested new Topics/Articles, but that seems unwarranted for a single paragraph. (I'd want a multiple paragraph sidebar before doing that.)

The whole point of a "GM Directions" snippet is that there's no reveal bullet. And the point of the snippet styles is to give different highlighting for different types of snippets.
So, according to my vastly limited experience in coding (*cough*), it should be pretty easy to change "GM Directions" to "GM Only", then enable the Snippet Styles menu for all snippets, and add the "GM Directions" option to that submenu, and perhaps make it the default option for "GM Only" snippets.
The difficult part might be making sure that this change doesn't break existing realms that use GM Directions.

I'm going to bump this thread. Although there is now a 'style' for 'Callouts', which seems to be intended for those side-bar things mentioned, there is no way to set up a style for GM Directions. Seems kind of short sighted not to allow us to change the presentation of GM Directions.
