Is there some way to put rich text a.k.a. formatted text into Inkscape, instead of just plain text?

I realize that what I'm trying to do falls more into the realm of Scribus, but Scribus pails in comparison to Inkscape and I would like to use Inkscape for everything. Or maybe I could import or export back and forth.

Any thoughts? I would even take a reply that says "No, you can't do that." At least I would know then.

Thanks.

There is a lot you can change within the same text object: font-family, size, color, stroke, but you have to do it all manually, you can't preserve already formatted text when copying into Inkscape.
