I want to underscore some subtle differences between entries in the loop and merge fields table, but there's no rich text option that I can find. I also tried manually adding html tags, but those were ignored.
Solved
Is there a way to format text within loop and merge fields?

In your question HTML place the loop and merge field within the required style tags. For bold
${lm://Field/1} , for italics ${lm://Field/1} . You can style it like a normal text ${lm://Field/1}

I was mistaken in the original post, because I was testing the wrong iteration of the loop and merge field.
