HTML is the way to go. You can easily create a very simple HTML page with some formatting and populate it with your record data using Set Fields. Push all that to a view field and there's your pretty markup! In version 7.5 there is a 'templating' mechanism you can use to take this even further; if you have lots of fields to display in your HTML view field it will save the hassle of using tons of set fields actions.
