How to embed HTML in a restructured text file?

Question

I am using reStructuredText , and I would like to add HTML encoding of an interactive flash type animation using the <embed> . From my .rst document, how can I indicate the position of this arbitrary HTML fragment? Something like:

  .. html :: <embed> ... more html here ... </embed> 

Is there this feature? thank.
