SpreadSheet::WriteExcel formatting within a cell

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,
I am trying to get different format types within a single excel cell using Spreadsheet::WriteExcel. For example I would like to write the equivalent of this HTML within a single excel cell:

"This is Bold."

As far as I can tell, the format is per cell, and is invariant within a cell. So in theory I cannot have variable formats within a single cell ?

Many thanks in advance.
Phil
