The control uses built-in HTML tags to display the caption using HTML format. The control supports the following HTML tags:

 bold
 underline
<s> ~~strikeout~~ </s>
 italic
<fgcolor = FF0000> fgcolor </fgcolor>
<bgcolor = FF0000> bgcolor </bgcolor>
  breaks a line.
<solidline> draws a solid line
<dotline> draws a dotted line
<upline> draws the line to the top of the text line
<r> aligns the rest of the text line to the right side
<img>number</img> inserts an icon inside the item's caption. The number indicates the index of the icon being inserted.
<img>key[:width]</img> inserts a custom size picture being loaded using the HTMLPicture property. The Key parameter indicates the key of the picture being displayed. The Width parameter indicates a custom size, if you require to stretch the picture, else the original size of the picture is used.
text displays portions of text with a different font and/or different size. For instance, the bit draws the bit text using the Tahoma font, on size 12 pt. If the name of the font is missing, and instead size is present, the current font is used with a different size. For instance, bit displays the bit text using the current font, but with a different size.
<a id;options> anchor </a>, specifies hyperlinks in your text. An anchor is a piece of text or some other object (for example an image) which marks the beginning and/or the end of a hypertext link.The <A> element is used to mark that piece of text (or inline image), and to give its hypertextual relationship to other documents. The control fires the AnchorClick event when the user clicks an anchor element. Use the FormatAnchor property to specify the visual effect for anchor elements. For instance, if the user clicks the anchor <a1>anchor</a>, the control fires the AnchorClick event, where the AnchorID parameter is 1, and the Options parameter is empty. Also, if the user clicks the anchor <a 1;yourextradata>anchor</a>, the AnchorID parameter of the AnchorClick event is 1, and the Options parameter is "yourextradata". Use the AnchorFromPoint property to retrieve the identifier of the anchor element from the cursor. Use the ShowToolTip method to display a custom tooltip.

Also, newer HTML format supports decorative text like follows:

<gra rrggbb;mode;blend> ... </gra> defines a gradient text. The text color or <fgcolor> defines the starting gradient color, while the rr/gg/bb represents the red/green/blue values of the ending color, 808080 if missing as gray. The mode is a value between 0 and 4, 1 if missing, and blend could be 0 or 1, 0 if missing. The HTML tag can be used to define the height of the font. Any of the rrggbb, mode or blend field may not be specified. The <gra> with no fields, shows a vertical gradient color from the current text color to gray (808080). For instance the "<gra FFFFFF;1;1>gradient-center</gra>" generates the following picture:
<out rrggbb;width> ... </out> shows the text with outlined characters, where rr/gg/bb represents the red/green/blue values of the outline color, 808080 if missing as gray, width indicates the size of the outline, 1 if missing. The text color or <fgcolor> defines the color to show the inside text. The HTML tag can be used to define the height of the font. For instance the "<out 000000><fgcolor=FFFFFF>outlined</fgcolor></out>" generates the following picture:
<sha rrggbb;width;offset> ... </sha> define a text with a shadow, where rr/gg/bb represents the red/green/blue values of the shadow color, 808080 if missing as gray, width indicates the size of shadow, 4 if missing, and offset indicates the offset from the origin to display the text's shadow, 2 if missing. The text color or <fgcolor> defines the color to show the inside text. The HTML tag can be used to define the height of the font. For instance the "<sha>shadow</sha>" generates the following picture:

or "<sha 404040;5;0><fgcolor=FFFFFF>outline anti-aliasing</fgcolor></sha>" gets:
