# I want to plot bold text. The text should depend on a variable containing a character string.

plot.new()
text(.5, .5, expression(bold("Some text")))

# now I would like to do the same replacing "some text" by a variable.

plot.new()
myText <- "some text"
text(.5, .5, expression(bold(myText)))

# This obviouyls does not work.
# How can I combine substitute, parse, paste etc. do get what I want?
# And could someone add a brief explanation what happens, as I find parse, expression, deparse, substitute etc. not easy to understand.

Thanks,
Mark
