Formatting data elements

I often use Javascript in a data element to output strings, for example if I want to display a score like 
48/50 (96%) 
in a table cell. 
 
Is there a way to do HTML formatting within this sort of element, e.g. to display 
48/50 (96%) 
instead? HTML tags seem to get escaped, and I haven't found a way to turn that off.

Hi cjmaloof,

Could you use a text element of type HTML instead of a data element? You should be able to do HTML tags inside one of these.

Yup, dynamic text or text with <value-of format="HTML"> does the trick. (Though it makes me wonder what the difference between labels, text, dynamic text, and data really is -- maybe just the editor.) Thanks!
