For internal use with customised browsers, or on the World Wide Web?
If you are suggesting this for the latter, not a chance. You could however
use <p class="text">Examples of usage of text and idioms</p>
<p class="meta-text">Comments on the utilisation</p>
Which, with a suitable stylesheet will give the visual appearance you
are looking for.
