I think this does it:
=====================
TheWorldMainDockingBar compile: 'welcomeWhatever

^',(((WriteStream on: String new) nextChunkPutWithStyle: aText) contents 
printStringLimitedTo: 100000),'  readStream nextChunkText'
=====================

when aText is the Text with your pretty text, you get:
=================================
welcomeWhatever

^'Bob is bold!
]style[(3 8)f5b,f1!'  readStream nextChunkText
===============================

compiled into TheWorldMainDockingBar.

Cheers,
Bob
