Displaying Quickbase data utilizing HTML & CSS

I am trying to create a form for view purposes only.  This form needs to be presented to an executive committee. (I don't want a word doc/pdf. ) I have seen stuff online that describes rich text pages...

I mocked up a quick field to demonstrate the concept.  This is using the value in the "Data Test" field in a button.  The concept is the same for all other HTML tags supported by Quick Base.

"<a style=\" text-decoration: none; background: #008000; border-radius: 5px; color: #fff; display: inline-block; width: 75px; text-align: center; padding: 8px 5px; font: normal 700 14px/1 \"Calibri\", sans-serif; text-shadow: none; \">" & [Data Test] & "</a>"

    Thank you sir for the response. The syntax makes sense but I have some follow up questions
    I can create a rich text field and embed this code in it. However I would like to be able to use this in a code page. How do I pass a a specific record's  Data Test value to the code page. (i.e. user selects a records, clicks, code page comes up.) Thank you.

      I'm sorry if I misunderstood your question.  I haven't done much with code pages, but I'm certain they are in my immediate future.

        Have you considered using a formula rich text field?
