something better than HTMLText, anyone?

I have a large database of relatively small texts in basic HTML format
(including very basic tables), and I need to display these texts in a card.
Cellpadding, cellspacing, and borders in tables must be supported.

The HTMLText property of fields in LC supports a rich collection of text
styles, but not HTML tables.

How would you display such HTML text in a card? The user needs to be able to
adjust the font size of this text.

When the user clicks a word in the text, my scripts need to be able to
extract the word that she clicked.

Any tips would be appreciated.
