Display HTML message box in Google Apps Script?

Question

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

Is there a way to display a popup with simple HTML for the user using the Google Apps script?

Answer 1

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

The documentation is quite rare, so check out their examples:
