Dynamic Print Directives

[LeanClink]

Is it possible to use format in order to embed print directives dynamically?

For example, I want to parse the following string:

[indent]HELLO {B}WORLD{/B}{=24}[/indent]

If using printline, it would be like this:

printline "HELLO", @Redon, "WORLD" {>(24)}

Is it possible to use format or a different command? So I can do something like this:

for loop 
{
  //create toPrint string variable
  format toPrint as "HELLO", @Redon, "WORLD" //pseudocode, goal is to build the toPrint variable by parsing each character
}

printline toPrint {>(align)}
