Rendering HTML in SSRS 2008 Reports

Some of the data in my report was stored with simple HTML formatting tags.  It turns out that the expressions I had on my report was already a “placeholder” and SSRS Placeholders have the ability to set the Markup Type to “HTML – Interpret HTML tags as styles”.

Note:  I had to click THREE times on the expression to drill past the Rectangle and Text Box containers to finally select the expression placeholder.
