    Your administrator also has to give your security group rights to use html in report content.

    Does the user have the "Save Content with HTML Markup" privilege?

    Check the above thread. you have to provide the 'Save System-Wide Column Formats' privilege as well.

    ps: Be careful about to whom you are providing that privilege

    Not sure why you don't have the HTML option in the Data Format dropdown. I don't have 11g handy to verify (screenshot below is from 12c).

    Try selecting Custom and then add the @[html]@H format mask.
