Rendering Full-blown HTML in SSRS 2008 (not just tags)

Is it possible to render other forms of HTML syntax besides basic tags for rich text in SSRS 2008?

If I create an expression which is an HTML placeholder, SSRS successfully renders the basic tags like "b", "i", "p", "br", and other rich-text-oriented tags. But if I want to do something like embed an image from a URL or create a table using HTML, then that bit of HTML simply will not be rendered. The report does not fail to run though; it just ignores that bit of HTML.

Perhaps full HTML support in an SSRS 2008 report is obtainable through some other means besides an HTML placeholder expression. I looked into using some other type of report element besides a textbox for more HTML support, but see none available.

The simple answer is no. Officially, only a handful are supported. I've searched high and low for other tag support (specifically support), and it among others is not supported. The following tags are supported:

Hyperlinks: <A href>
Fonts: <FONT>
Header, style and block elements: <H{n}>, <DIV>, <SPAN>,<P>, <DIV>, <LI>, <HN>
Text format: <B>, <I>, <U>, <S>
List handling: <OL>, <UL>, <LI>
