np,
You can put limited HTML into a text box by enabling HTML on the text element on the form (here is a checkbox) and here is some help text as to what Tags are allowed. IN the example that you posted I did not see ant tags like <br> for new line or <p> for new paragraph. That is why you have no carriage returns.
If that does not give you enough flexibility, you can make a Rich Text formula field with fixed HTML text and put that field on the form.
