Is there a way to configure a cell as rich text?

[Phil Bustin]

I have a web page with several fields and field labels.  The Description field sometimes contains rendered HTML.

When I copy the content of the web page and paste it in a Confluence page, the result is a table whose cells contain plain text.  

After I have pasted the contents of the web page onto the Confluence page, is there a way of converting just the Description cell (or the whole table if needed) to rich text?  If so, I could copy just the Description field from the web page and paste it into the converted cell, and hopefully have the HTML rendered in that cell.

If it were possible to have a whole table with rich text cells, I could create a template containing such a table; however, I'd only do that if Atlassian offered inserting tables whose top row isn't shaded.

@Phil Bustin, 

Confluence Cloud will not allow you to render HTML out of the box due to security concerns. You'd need to install an HTML app and insert your HTML into a macro.
