Change font size w/ expression?

Hi I have a chart whose title I would like to format w different font sizes.
The chart title is:
<caption>="This is the chart main text" + vbcrlf +
First(Fields!subtitle.Value, "Text")</caption>
The main chart title is hard coded and the second line is a field.
I would like to change the font size on that second line. Is there a way to
reference the <caption> line in <style><fontsize> and parse through it?
I'm thinking this isn't possible, but why not ask.
Thanks!

You will most likely want to create a custom ASP.NET application that
reads in the RDL file (possibly as an XML Document) and parses the XML
tags and writes the file back out -and/or- read the RDL file in via
Streamreader and assigns it to a string and then does a string replace
of the fontsize in the tags and then writes the file back out via
Streamwriter. Hope this helps.

Any chance there is a way to do it within the rdl?
