Format Expression

My client's want certain areas of my expression to be bold and also a
different color. Via HTML or CSS this would be the solution:
="<b><font color=blue>Resource(s) Name:</font></b> " &
Fields!ResourceName.Value & vbcrlf &
"<b><font color=blue>Role:</font></b> " & Fields!Role.Value & vbcrlf &
vbcrlf & "<b><font color=blue>Other Resource(s) Name:</font></b> " &
Fields!OtherResourceName.Value & vbcrlf & "<b><font color=blue>Other Resource
Role:</font></b> " & Fields!OtherResourceRole.Value
However, this does not work with SSRS. Is this something that will be
allowed in SSRS 2008 or is it possible with 2005?

<moojjoo/>RS 2008 is going support rich format. I have not played with the CTPs
(general pre-release software) so I am not totally firm in my head on how
this support will show itself.

each of those (which really only works for very simple scenarios).

table... and they are wanting multiple items in a cell along with that
formatting I am referrring to.

being implemented in RS 2008.
