edit

after researching problem bit more appears visual studio doesn't support markup html rdlc reports until visual studio 2010. if upgrading option, can want.

otherwise strip out html tags so:

on report menu, click report properties... , select code tab. enter following code:

function striphtmltags(byval text string) string   return system.text.regularexpressions.regex.replace(text, "<(.|\n)*?>", "") end function 

now in cell use following expression:

=code.striphtmltags(fields!myfield.value) 

original answer follows:

leaving aside should separate data presentation, can render using html tags in reporting services, not intuitive find:

1. left click field want display <expr> tag highlighted
2. right click highlighted <expr> tag , choose placeholder properties...
3. on general tab, select html- interpret html tags style radio button

only limited number of tags supported however. this article on msdn tells more.
