Glad that may be helpful.  I do think it is an easy way to have HTML in a form, but the drawback is you have to create a new field for the code.  I name my fields for forms with a special name to separate them from other fields.  You can use full CSS and HTML in their including CSS flex and other styles.  Would love to share more, but as a father and full time job, my free time usually comes in short bursts without too much planning ahead.

HTML DIV field for a message on a form:

The Code for that:
var Text message = "I, the supervisor, based this evaluation on my observation and/or knowledge, it represents my best judgment of the employee's job performance.";

"<div style='padding: 0 3px; border-radius: 5px; background-color: ghostwhite;'>"
& "<table>"
& "<tr>"
& "<td style='font-weight: bold; font-size: 24pt; vertical-align: middle; padding: 0 10px; text-align: center;'>&#9888;</td>"
& "<td style='font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: middle;'>"
& $message
& "</td>"
& "</tr>"
& "</table>"
& "</div>"​

The field name using something like "UI Display: Description of field":
