Combine n number of Text objects

In SwiftUI, you can combine Text objects like so:

var body: some View {
    Text("You can") + Text(" add lots of objects that wrap normally")
}

This gives the benefit of having multiple Text objects that act as one, meaning they are on the same line and wrap appropriately.

What I can't figure out is how to combine n number of Text objects, based on an array or really any way to increment.

I've tried ForEach like so,

var texts = ["You can", " add lots of objects that wrap normally"]
var body: some View {
    ForEach(texts.identified(by: \.self)) {
        Text($0)
    }
}

But that looks like this

when I want it to look like this

Manual Implementation

Could anyone show me how this is done?

Use case: Styling part of a Text object and not the other parts. Like what is possible with NSMutableAttributedString

You seem to be describing something like this:

enter image description here

var body: some View {
    let strings = ["manny ", "moe", " jack"]
    var texts = strings.map{Text($0)}
    texts[1] = texts[1].underline() // illustrating your use case
    return texts[1...].reduce(texts[0], +)
}

However, I think it would be better to wait until attributed strings arrive.
