Hello, 
 Have done it previously, but indeed it is a pain. I use local variables to define the html tags, that way is easier to read the code. I even have some formatting. 
 For doing so, what I did was to set a table in word with the desired format and then save it as an html.

First i set the first row (it is in bold) and then i iterate, each iteration is at the end one row.

the best is to start first with a a simple table with all the hardcoded values, then start splitting the areas and start removing hardcoded values by data. 
 
 good luck!

Are you attempting to embed HTML into your expression code? That's impossible. The Appian expression language is a completely different programming language that's actually written in Java. The expression language (SAIL and expression rules) has literally NO IDEA what any HTML tags are, or what they are supposed to mean. It's all just a Text, and it's displayed as text; not markup. 
 It's not even showing you the string literal of your code, because it's just a Text with no context. You'd need to put it into something Appian can display like an a!textField before you could even see the code. 
 You need to use an Appian table, or create the table you want with the HTML you like in a separate website, and have it call an Appian based webservice to pull the data from Appian, or you have to embed your website with the table you like in a webContentField.
