Can I include variables in an HTTP::respond string?

Is it possible to include variables in an HTTP::respond string?

For example:

set title "title of the page"
set body "Hi there!"
HTTP::respond 200 content "$title$body" "Set-Cookie" $cookie

or do I need to build the entire string in advance and then just pass it as a single content variable?

    would it retain the spacing between the variables in the string?

    yes

    e.g.

    [root@ve11a:Active:In Sync] config  tmsh list ltm virtual bar
ltm virtual bar {
    destination 172.28.20.15:80
    ip-protocol tcp
    mask 255.255.255.255
    profiles {
        http { }
        tcp { }
    }
    rules {
        myrule
    }
    source 0.0.0.0/0
    vs-index 34
}
[root@ve11a:Active:In Sync] config  tmsh list ltm rule myrule
ltm rule myrule {
    when HTTP_REQUEST {
  set var1 "12345"
  set var2 "abcdef"
  set var3 "xyz"
  HTTP::respond 200 content "$var1 $var2            $var3\r\n"
}
}
[root@ve11a:Active:In Sync] config  curl -i http://172.28.20.15
