As long as you have a way to insert the HTML tags around the text you want bolded, they can go anywhere in the text being passed into the Email (my use of a special variable was just for the purposes of the most simple example).

Currently I am passing a whole chunk of data in one variable to a variable in an email template. I want some text in that variable to be bold. I don't want to create so many variables just for this purpose. Is there any way around this?

You have two options and either should work depending on your requirements; the first is to make the field itself bold on the template side (using standard html tags); the other would be to pass the HTML "bold" tags into the template variable in the Send Email node. Such as with a pv called "myVariable", in the Send Mail node for that template field you'd put the following:
="" & pv!myVariable & ""

In the Send Email node, when configuring the body, you should be able to use "Find in template document" and "Replace with" to do find/replace. If you are replacing the word "var" in your template with the variable, make sure the template has var

Try using an email template, and set your variable is an input parameter to the template. More info here:
