Displaying HTML or other Rich Text Format content in Reporting Ser

For a report I am creating, I need to display rich text format content, that
will be saved in the database, on a reporting services report. This data
will include bolds, bullets, italics, indents, etc.
Is there a way to show this content formatted correctly in Reporting
Services? We were planning on storing the data as HTML in the database but
reporting services is displaying the actual HTML code and not the content.
Does anyone have any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated! ThanksSSRS only prints plain text. You can't display HTML or RTF.

basic requirement in a reporting tool

old Windows character map...not sure if it still comes with XP but if you
have an older version of windows such as 95 or 98 or 2000 you can start
character map by "Start" RUN and typing charmap.exe
Go to the Time New Roman font, scroll down about half way and you'll find a
BULLET (code 2022), you can copy it then paste it into a Textbox object and
it will display fine.
