Display HTML-formated message box in Google Apps Script?

Question

The Browser.msgBox("hello") method lets me display the text "hello" to the user in a message box, but if I put any HTML in there, for example "Hi there", the user just sees the HTML tags.

Is there a way to display a popup with simple HTML to the user from withing google apps script?

Answer 1

If you want to display a more complex UI, check out the new UIApp service google added:

The documentation is pretty sparse, so check out their examples:

You can also directly use UI.showModalDialog.
