This field displays HTML. In most cases the guidance text field is better suited than this one.
Note that in read-only rendering mode (emails, PDFs etc) a table is used to lay out field labels and their values. The guidance text field type is aware of this, so outputs the necessary table elements. The HTML field type, however, will only ever output exactly what it's told.
Basic field value substitution (using # characters) can also be enabled.
