Ability to add font properties to expressions

On many layouts we have multi-lined text where some of the text is bold and some isn't - typically this is a box of banking details and we need to have overlapping boxes which are printed depending on circumstances - e.g print UK and IRL bank details


I would like to use expressions instead of text boxes but for this to be feasible, I would need to be able to use tags to set the font type e.g. "<B>Some Bold Text : <\B>Some Normal Text"

Idea Benefit Declutter the layout, instead of overlapping text boxes, I can use an expression which is built in a separate section header or footer
How do you solve for this problem today? Multiple overlapping text boxes, highlight required text and set the font properties, or try to convince the customer that the bold font is a waste of time

    I have created a linked idea - Multiple options for conditional formatting

    In reality the two properties that I need the ability to set are Bold and RGB colour - if both of those were possible when defining expressions, I don't think there would be much need for multiple conditional formats
