Embedding variables in a richtext blob object

What I want to do is pull a chunk of rich text from a blob field in my database, and have variables embedded in the rich text (using square brackets) that correspond to other fields in my dataset. This is so that I can use one report for a number of different situations, and just substitute the richtext each time.

Will this work?

Thanks,

base

    add the variables to the richtext at the time you create it
    make sure when you load the richtext to the report that the report contains the
    variable names in the dictionary or are preset or you have an ongetvalue eventhandler for the report component to supply data to the encountered variables.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
